Cursor stuck as the little black and white BMW logo looking thing

My cursor was stuck as this:

Moving to a different workspace and hitting "escape" key had no effect. Went away as soon as I hit "command" + "shift" + "4" to take a screenshot.

 

 

EDIT: After clicking down on my mouse wheel to pan the camera it's back:

If I hover over this x:

It turns back into a mouse pointer. But when I move my mouse away from the x it goes back to the little BMW logo.

 

After restarting Fusion it hasn't come back.

+1 on this. I have been experiencing this EXACT same thing. It makes selecting anything very hit or miss. I am running the lastest build of Fusion 360, on an M2 Mac Mini.

I think I only noticed it since the latest update so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

 

Are you using a mac?

Check your Analysis folder.

Watching your video though - I don't know...

Thanks but I don't have an analysis folder in either of the files I've worked on experiencing this. That icon usually comes up when Fusion's thinking but didn't throw the beach ball of death for some reason.

 

The icon I get also is just the BMW circle, no protruding lines every 90 degrees. The black also fills opposite quadrants.

I don't have an analysis folder. Sure looks like a bug @jeff_strater can we stop rushing out updates and not going back to fix the bugs?

It's also not the center of mass icon or if it is it's rotated:

I experienced the same thing (was glad you also named it BMW cursor). For me it helped to repeatedly open the right-click context menu. After that I got a normal cursor again.

 

Hope it helps.
