** Description changed:

  Impact
  ------
  In the Wayland session with older Nvidia graphics (usually nvidia driver 
470), a software cursor is used instead of a hardware cursor. This causes worse 
performance with unnecessary updates of the display.
  
  Test Case
  ---------
- To see it just add this to /etc/environment:
  
-   MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_EGL_STREAM=1
-   CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region
+ 1. Set up an Nvidia-only desktop. No other GPUs active. Driver version
+ must be 470 or higher.
  
- and reboot.
+ 2. Add this to /etc/environment:
+ 
+    MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_EGL_STREAM=1
+    CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region
+ 
+ 3. Reboot.
+ 
+ 4. Log into 'Ubuntu on Wayland'.
+ 
+ Observed: The red and blue boxes from the above debugging option follow
+ the mouse cursor.
+ 
+ Expected: No red and blue boxes follow the mouse cursor.
