It's not just your machine. I've been fighting with the same behavior 
ever since I switched to OS X and recent releases of the MC engine 
haven't fixed it yet. I reported the problem quite a while ago, but 
maybe should send it in again.

What I've found is that if the player is placed on top of an image, the 
controller isn't drawn. If the image underneath is removed or hidden, 
normal controls reappear.
