For some reason, even though I have it checked, it never works for me. Anyone else have this problem?
Yep it works for me. I went to take a screen shot of what it looks like with the mouse showing while typing but my screen shot would make it disappear so I broke out the camera. Here is what I see with and without the pointer. The darker gray pic snow is with the pointer showing (circled in pink) and the lighter part is without it. Now you will still see the line (pointed out in blue) for both but not the pointer.
Yep, no change here, I'm looking at my mouse cursor sitting there as I type this, and I just double checked that the option is selected. 
lemme investigate something...
Same here, I am running Vista, the windows version before this worked well. I'm so sick of seeing my mouse where I type!
