A "gloved hand" takes over the cursor periodically, I have no idea how this happens. I might be on a web page using "Brave browser" and suddenly while I'm scrolling around with the arrow it turns into a "gloved fist". This "white fist" remains and won't go away. It renders the Chromebook useless even if I tried to close Windows with the touch screen everything still is somewhat frozen. Some things work some things don't. However I have no idea how to change this "fist" back to an arrow. The only solution I've had so far is to restart the Chromebook and then I'm good to go until it happens again. Sometimes it happens several times in one session.
What is this "white gloved closed fist" and how to get rid of it for good I'd rather never see it again? But if there is an easy way to just switch out of it once it happens that would be good enough.
To be clear the "closed fist" will not open web links or do anything whatsoever. It renders the Chromebook useless. On top of that I know no way out of it other than to restart.

Is this using the track pad or an external mouse or does it happen with both?

Have you tried to hit ESCAPE?

Typically the white "hand" pointer appears when you hover over a link but it's supposed to revert as soon ass you move away from it.

We don't see a lot of Mac questions here either, did (GN)you try the right website?
