Public bug reported:

Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (GNOME, Wayland session)
Package version: mutter 50.1-0ubuntu2.4

Expected: Using a pen tablet (Huion Inspiroy H580X, in-kernel hid-
uclogic driver), the pen should work continuously in applications, the
same as it does in GNOME Settings > Graphics Tablets > Test Settings.

What happened instead: In Blender's sculpt mode, the pen works for one
stroke, then input from the pen is lost: the app's cursor freezes, and
the pen shows as a separate cross cursor. Lifting the pen and returning
gives inconsistent results. A mouse works normally throughout.

Blender developers identified the related two-cursor problem as a mutter bug, 
fixed upstream in 50.3:
- Blender issue: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/160859
- Upstream merge request: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5126
- Commit: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/8cb2bce89596c27b3817702065c08885d28d9fbb

My own Blender report with full details:

Ubuntu 26.04 is on mutter 50.1, which doesn't include this fix. Please
consider backporting it to 26.04 as a Stable Release Update.

System details:
- Hardware: Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8, 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13500H, 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX laptop GPU (hybrid graphics with Intel 
integrated), NVIDIA driver 595.84
- Displays: three (laptop plus two external monitors) with different scaling 
per display; tablet mapped to one external monitor via GNOME Settings > 
Graphics Tablets
- Blender 5.2.2 (snap, latest/stable)
- All available updates installed.
