It appears that the xinput devices(keyboard/mouse) are being hijacked by desktop? As long as there is user input(keyboard/mouse activity) at least once second within Sauerbraten, everything works as expected in Ubuntu 18.10. Further bug info: I noticed that if you're moving forward with the 'w' key(with no mouse activity), and jump(press 'spacebar') while keeping the 'w' key pressed, the bug returns about a second later. The forward movement stops and the rogue mouse pointer returns to flickering, as if there is no user activity, or as if the user input activity has been cleared/reset. ***If you _don't_ jump while moving forward, the forward movement continues as expected and the rogue mouse pointer stays away. When there is no user input/activity for about 1 second, the flickering mouse pointer returns. Again, everything works as expected in Ubuntu 18.04. Thanks!
PS. Sorting straces of Sauerbraten seem show a similar number of epoll calls as flickers of the rogue mouse pointer, but that was a hack at trouble-shooting and may be unrelated.

Upon further "evaluation", I noticed the system mouse pointer "popping up" briefly at the moment of the glitch(near the crosshair) about once a second. When not in fullscreen, the animation is smooth(no visible skips/glitches) and I don't see the system mouse pointer "popping up" every second. It works fine in fullscreen mode in Ubuntu 18.04. To recreate/observe the problem: 0. Boot into Ubuntu 18.10 1. Install sauerbraten 2. Start sauerbraten 3. Set sauerbraten to fullscreen mode(sauerbraten->options..->display->fullscreen) 4. Start a game(I like sauerbraten->bot match->start match->ctf->europium) 5. Move forward with the 'w' key(steer with the mouse) to some rotating cubes. Here you should notice the glitch in rotation and the _system_ mouse pointer flickering in and out near the crosshair at a rate of about once a second.
