Marko, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) Could you please advise if you have an external monitor connected?
2) Does using the nvidia proprietary driver change anything regarding this?
3) If you disable the graphics card via your BIOS does this influence this
issue?
4) Could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker of
the computer itself (not from the Bug Description, or the result of a terminal
command)?
5) To see if this is already resolved in Ubuntu, could you please test
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

Title:
Mouse flickering and disappearing near the top of screen
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
So I'm not sure this is an xorg bug, I couldn't figure out what xorg
is. But I recently upgraded to ubuntu 16.10 and started seeing this
bug where my mouse will flicker and disappear when near the top of the
screen. It still works clicking-wise. It also seems to be especially
severe when using Google Chrome, where it completely disappears and
flickers the entire time while mousing over the menu uptions (i.e the
close button, the tabs etc...). However recently I noticed this also
happens when google chrome is off, though it flickers much less.
