Tried testing the issue on reported chrome version #70.0.3497.81 and latest chrome #71.0.3545.2 on Ubuntu 17.10 by following below steps.

Steps:
=====
1.Launched chrome.
2.Navigated to "http://falsandtru.github.io/pjax-api/".
3.Hovered mouse over the API, Pjax, Event, or Router links observed that the cursor changes from arrow to pointer( which is usually observed when hovered over links).
4.When opened the anchor elements and moved away from the link, unable to observe the blinking of the cursor.

Attached screencast for reference.

Thanks for your review! Your steps are correct but looks like the bug didn't appear there. I tried to record the bug but I can't do it. Probably frame rate is not enough to record the blinking. Can't you directly observe the blinking by your eyes? I'm also looking for a way to record the blinking. I can see this bug on both Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows10.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Win-10 and ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #69.0.3497.81 and latest canary #71.0.3548.0 as per comment #0.
Observed that the cursor did not blink at all on clicking.

Removing the Needs-Bisect label as the issue is not reproducible from TE-end and requesting someone from Blink team to please have a look into the issue.

Thanks...!!

I tried to repro this issue on physical machine but couldn't it. Maybe the issue appears only on virtual machine. VM has run on VMware Workstation 12 on CentOS 7.

falsandtru@ Thanks for the update.

As per comment #6, as this issue is reproducible on virtual machine on CentOS 7, this setup is not available at TE end to test further. Hence adding 'TE-NeedsTriageFromHYD' label and requesting Inhouse team to look into this issue and help in further triaging.

Thanks..

Looks like this is related to the hovering change. cc navid and lan

This seems a VM only issue, lower the priority.

I recorded the issue using smartphone. Can you take a look? However, this blink is conservative because of a lack of frame rate. And I uploaded the video to the following uploader because the video size is over 10MB(capacity of this tracker). Specify another uploader if needed.

The website you provided is Japanese, I can't find the video. If it's possible, could you provide a link from google drive or youtube?

Okay, please see https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G4FpIDLFCr2A7DnQ69WmuLMyIvwdSWJ0/view?usp=sharing

As per comment #6,this issue is reproducible on virtual machine on CentOS and this setup is not available at TE end. Hence adding 'TE-NeedsTriage-help' label for someone from dev team to look into this issue.

Thanks!

My suspect is this is because both chrome and VM are trying to change the cursor. 
This issue looks trivial, I don't think we need to fix this.
