Cursor disappears when opening a file using the 'Media' menu

OS: ArchLinux: Linux XXX 5.0.5-arch1-1-ARCH #1 (closed) SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 27 17:53:10 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

VLC version: VLC media player 3.0.6 Vetinari (revision 3.0.6-0-g5803e85f)

Severity: minor

Steps for reproducing the bug:

  1. Open VLC
  2. Open a file
  3. Open another file using the 'Media' menu (Media > Open file)
  4. Try to move the cursor, it is gone

We have to wait for the timeout and move the cursor again: if we do not move the cursor for n seconds, the cursor disappears, in this bug, the cursor is already gone, we need to wait n seconds, then the cursor is like really gone (in theory), then if we move it again, it shows up.

Not tested on another platform than ArchLinux.
