I decided to try the Speed Grader annotation tools. Hovering over each tool, a label pops up. Unfortunately it is partially hidden and the visible part of the description is not always sufficient to tell what the tool is.
I first thought that changing the size of your cursor might make it better, and I made a recording using Camtasia to show you what I see. But look what Camtasia made:

This replicates what you describe but it's not what I see on my computer. I recorded the same thing using my iPhone:

Though the video quality is poor, it's not too hard to see that the cursor does not block the text.
Okay, after spending way too much time figuring out how to make smaller GIF files out of videos shot using my iPhone (Adobe not Camtasia), I think the solution is to play with the settings for the cursor size on your computer.
I’m going to mark my response as a solution, but there can be more than one. I hope our colleagues here in the Community can share other options for helping you.

When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
