Why no to tell us about your “combination of things you never do”. Maybe it could help somebody.
I have many times. If I manipulate the hat switch on my yoke, and at the same time right click drag my mouse around, the white dot appears. I would never do this because both functions do the same thing i.e. adjust my view. A second or so after I stop this the white dot disappears.
The hat switch allows for coarse changes in your view point, to the cardinal directions, and diagonals. I wouldn’t use that, and the mouse at the same time. I would do one or the other.
In reality I use a Tobii 5 head tracker, but what I might do is use the hat switch to change my view to left or right so I don’t crane my neck so much if I wanted to look over my shoulder. In those scenarios the white dot never appears. It’s never been an issue for me, even before I had the head tracker.

So what about axes jitter on your yoke? Or do you have a huge dead zones?
I have a Virtual Fly Yoko+. What’s jitter? 
But seriously, no, I don’t have any dead zones, on any device.
I’ve never fully understood why some are linking this issue to primary flight controls, and jitter. That would suggest I could grab my yoke with both hands, and thrash it about near its midpoint to get the white dot to appear.
This of course doesn’t happen. But it makes sense to me that if you have something like a console controller, and both sticks are suffering jitter, that one of them being used to control your viewpoint might do this. But I doubt the one that controls pitch, and roll would be doing it.
I’ve never used a console controller with the sim so I don’t know for certain, just some educated guesswork on my part.
In my case, my xbox controller isn’t even connected and it still appears. I reinstalled the OS just to get rid of the xbox drivers and all that, but regardless the dot appears. I just hope they find a way to remedy this completely by the full SU13 release.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Known Issue: White Dot in Certain Scenarios
This is definitely the bug I am having, but somehow it only ever happens to me when flying the Hjet. Makes no freaking sense. I thought I fixed it by adding a deadzone to my rudder toe brakes cause there was a slight bit of noise, but tonight it happened again worse than ever even though I added that deadzone.
Do you have the latest build and switched the new toggles?
Does the issue go away entirely if you unplug your rudder pedals?
Are you enrolled in the sim update 13 beta?
Thanks very much. At least one problem solved. I was going to reinstall MSFS, because of it. One problem solved, now the stability issue 
No, not in beta. I think I may have fixed the problem now by disabling the thumb stick on my throttle I was using for an extra view bind, which I pretty much never use I just wanted to bind it to something. Its been a flaky axis for a while. I never notice it drift as long as im not actually using it, but have done 3 flights since I disabled it and the lost mouse cursor thing hasn’t happened since
I have only recently encountered this white dot on 1.33.8 win10
no controllers. Only saitek stuff on PC.
D-PAD control is switched off in options. (not sure if this is relevant).
Not sure exaxctly how it starts (seems a bit random) but moving the cockpit view around the arrow cursor suddenly starts to flicker and the white dot intermittedly appears centre screen.
This has only been happening since I am using Spacedesk to run LittleNavmap on a tablet.
So no idea how it starts but the way I get rid of it is easy:
F12 and then RESUME and the arrow cursor is again stable and no white dot.
So whatever RESUME does, fixes it for me.
Hi, did you find a fix for this issue? I’m experiencing the same for a while.
Thanks
Anyone found a fix for this issue please help? I’m on PC. White dot, cursor and white outline on the PFD/ ND and difficulty in manipulating switches and knobs via the cursor.
The beta testers are reporting the white dot is fixed in the soon to be released SU13. Not sure about the white square issue, though.
Square and dot go together. The fix is to wait until SU13 is released and then turn the dot off using the new options. It if you really can’t wait for a few bits 6 days then install the beta now.
I’m on xbox series x and can tell you that the latest beta version is really running well for me.
I can also back up that the white dot and highlighted panels/white square issues are fixed.

White dot will be fixed in SU13 that is slated to drop later this month.
