That literally happens to me sometimes when using Gmail (in regular, i.e. JS-enabled mode, not in HTML UI mode).
Sometimes when I move my cursor around with the arrow keys (e.g. up or down), the cursor suddenly vanishes when it reaches some part of the email I am writing or replying to.
Sometimes it happens near the quoted part of the email (the part I'm replying to), or something else. Irritating. Then I have to scrap the email and rewrite it, and maybe if I am lucky I can copy (some of) the text I've written and paste it into the new version.
I think it is some issues with their JS or CSS, also maybe related to monitor size and resolution.
