That seems like https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706229, but the upstream bug applies to GNOME 3.10 and not our 3.8 version.
The GNOME ticket also points to an xorg issue, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59644 which might fixes the issue seen here Do people having the issue "play" with their trackpad while the screen is loading? it seems like it could be happening while events are mixed on loading. Does it happen if you keep your hands off the device on boot? ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => High ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #706229 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706229 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #59644 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59644 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238410 Title: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On fresh boots the greeter & desktop may have the cursor visible or may not until mouse is moved. On a log out/in the cursor is almost always invisible until mouse is moved. (unless made visible in greeter screen, then visible on Desktop This is all well & good, maybe some intentional aesthetics/design (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687791) , however sometimes the cursor never becomes visible. In that case hitting some keys or context menu can cause it to show, though most times a log out is needed. (with the removal of ctrl+alt+delete > log out this means most users will need to either blindly find the session indicator or hit power button. When the g-s-d cursor plugin is disabled then the cursor is always visible, it the plugin has no use in an ubuntu session then maybe it should be default disabled There is also the possibility, particularly on ssd drives, of a login with no session indicator. This occasionally combines with no visible cursor.
