Greetings friends, I've come up with a simple solution that will work in the
short term. I updated last night and was immediately pissed that the one thing
I require in any OS, the magnifier, no longer worked on Ubuntu Gnome after
updating to Artful, but Today I came up with a simple workaround.
All you must do is
1. Go into universal access -> zoom -> crosshairs
2. Turn it on.
3. Enable overlap mouse
4. change the length to be as short as possible, or as long as you want
5. Turn the thickness down very low, or what's comfortable for you
6. Change the color to solid black with no alpha
This will create a connected cross in the middle of the screen where the
pointer would be. The only thing really missing or left to be desired here is
the white border, but nothing I can do about that. ;/

Title:
No mouse cursor on Wayland when Universal Access > Zoom is selected
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Using default login on 17.10 Beta, which I believe is Wayland, when
Universal Access > Zoom is selected the mouse cursor disappears. The
mouse continues to function, but no cursor is visible.
It is ok when used with X login.
