A few days ago, Mike Rankin posted a warning for Macintosh users to hold off updating to the new macOS operating system 10.13, called High Sierra. The release version of the operating system contained a major bug that caused “a cursor like that I had to pull the cartridge out of my Atari 2600 and blow on it.”
Apple has released 10.13 Supplemental Update which fixes the cursor problem as well as a few other significant bugs. If you already downloaded High Sierra, you can download this supplemental update from the Updates panel of the App Store.
I also learned from an article in TidBITS that “Apple says that it has already built these fixes into new downloads of High Sierra, so if you haven’t yet updated, you won’t need the macOS High Sierra 10.13 Supplemental Update. But if you have already upgraded to High Sierra, we recommend installing this one sooner rather than later.”
