On line 61, just after the text "Starting docking engine...", you can see the escape sequence ^[[?25l. That is telling the terminal that it should hide the cursor, but there is no follow up escape sequence to make it visible again. So this is working as expected - the terminal is just doing what you've asked it to do.
