Title:
Mouse cursor disappears after using desktop for awhile
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I don't know yet what triggers this - maybe Firefox just doesn't like
Nvidia proprietary drivers, or vice versa - but after some
unpredictable amount of system uptime, the mouse cursor becomes
invisible. It still EXISTS - for example, you can track down the
location via mouseover tooltips and such. But you can't see it.
Things that don't fix it:
* Switch to another workspace
* Click rapidly in frustration/wiggle mouse all over the place
* Install and remove 'unclutter'
* Play around with the System Settings > Displays thing (extremely difficult
without a visible mouse)
Things that fix it:
* Restart computer
* Switch to a getty with CTRL-ALT-F*
My computer is a System76 Wild Dog Performance desktop, running Ubuntu
13.10, with xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 (according to apt-cache
policy). I have the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed, and use
Unity.
Expected behavior: Mouse cursor is visible, no matter how long I'm
logged in.
Happened instead: Mouse disappeared after awhile (current uptime 18h
20m, but that's on the short side).
