I seem to have the issue when typing on my laptop and the touchpad thinks I clicked on something.
I don't seem to have the issue when using an external keyboard. Changing the touchpad sensitivity seems to help.

This is why I disable the touchpad on any laptop I use, and have a mouse in its place. Current touchpads seem to detect touches and motion without physical contact. I suspect static electricity is part of the problem.

I see some people accusing the editor of this but I know that when I get up to speed what does happen is that I hit the wrong key combination.
Not intentionally. And quite often not even because I was doing a shortcut.
And that will make the cursor disappear. And since it is not intentional I will have no idea where it is.

I notice that too. As you say, clicking somewhere in the code editor brings back the caret, I've also noticed that a few Esc, Esc, Esc will do the trick usually. I think sometimes VS gets lost.

We have a tiny ginger baby girl, rare as that is. She's a shoulder kitten. She's a car kitten. Have cat, will travel. In so many ways she's just so perfect, but she wets our bed. We can't let her in the bedroom as a result.
After doing some reading, it may be an attachment thing.
Now that she's on solid food we can get her on cat treats.
Which we can scatter on the bed.
Because they won't pee where they eat.
Bette Midler the Bed Piddler** has met her match.
Soon we will fix this broken cat.
** Not her actual name, but I call her that

Hah hah hah hah ... I love optimism! 
We had a cat that would wake up, stretch, have a 💩 and lie down and go back to sleep.
It took us years (and a lot of 💩 down my arm) to break her of that. When they want to go, they go.
Kittens are different: the peeing on the bed is probably excitement and isn't voluntary, so she should hopefully grow out of it in a few weeks - Dij did. It's like all children: expect to get covered in body fluids! 
You can get "puppy training pads" from pet stores, which are soft and absorbent on one side, and waterproof on the other - if you can persuade her to lie / stand on those in the interim it may make life easier. It's also a good idea to have a litter tray in most rooms, and to keep them clean - that way if the cat needs a pee it's easier for her to get to one and that encourages "peeing in the right place only". You should always have at least N + 1 litter trays, where N is the number of cats.
It's also worth looking at the litter type: Dij will use only the clay based type, and even then only from one manufacturer / retailer. I think it has to do with "particle size" and the sensitivity of his paws.

Or she will fix you so she does what she wants and you attend to her desires ...

Griff is right. Always have litter boxes in the most highly trafficked rooms. Don't put the litter box in some out-of-the-way place because the cat will not want to use it.
At least, according to Jackson Galaxy[^]
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

There's a litter box right next to the bed. It isn't that. She routinely uses the litter box. The only other place she'll go is on the bed. She's marking.

Exactly. We currently have 6 cats and there are several places around the house where we know marking happens. For example, we leave lots of bottles of cleaning products on the worktops in the utility room, rather than store them in cupboards, simply so one of the cats has no space to jump up and mark the power sockets tripping the circuit breaker!

That's a lot of cats to manage.

I love that cat owners attribute cat behaviour to some ancient, unconscious and irresistable drive passed down, DNA strand by DNA strand, through each generation. Instead of the calculated and deliberate actions they are.

My experience with a succession of 180 foster cats and kittens says that the kittens cannot be trusted without direct supervision – to grab one and run for the litter box when it started hunting.
Ours were kept in a smaller room overnight, until they proved themselves and could graduate to the nearby kitchen.
(We did much the same thing for puppy training, except the small overnight space was a box beside the bed.)

This is the interwebz and we need cat pictures.

That is rare! I was told that gingers only come in the male edition.

Oooh, I'll have to try that - I have cat that 90% of the time uses the litterbox. It's the 10% that's annoying, and lacking a door on the bedroom, when I'm not myself in the bed, I have to cover the bed with things cats don't like to pee on. It works, but it's an annoying additional task when making the bed every morning.

Girls can be ginger but only if both parents carry the gene.
