It's not quite the same as bug 1724977.  This doesn't happen when moving
the cursor live, but the second copy "appears" after waking from screen
lock.  My guess is that the lock screen doesn't use the same video
memory config as the desktop, but somehow they "overlap" and the cursor
gets left over as you log back in from the lock screen.

* The fact that the fake cursor image is large makes me think that it isn't 
using the same scaling
* The fact that the fake cursor image is rotated (as if the screen is in normal 
landscape) makes me think that the lock screen is unaware of the desktop screen 
rotation.

Both of these points may affect the video memory layout which will
therefore be different between the desktop and the lock screen...

Currently away from the machine, but I will do the apport-collect next
week.

Title:
  Wayland: Image of mouse cursor left on screen after unlock

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Gnome 3 desktop
  Multi-monitor setup with one screen rotated right into portrait mode
  *Experimental* fractional scaling on Wayland with different scaling on each 
monitor.  Configured using:

  ~~~
  gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features 
"['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
  ~~~

  After wake from screen lock I often observe an "image" of an enlarged
  rotated mouse pointer on the second (rotated) monitor which doesn't
  move and doesn't appear on a screenshot.  It overlays all other screen
  in formation and cannot be erased by moving the mouse over the area.
  Depending on where the mouse cursor was when sleeping it seems to
  appear in one of two places, either towards the bottom left or top
  right.  After some time a block around the cursor image gets
  "corrupted".

  This behaviour is not observed if logging in to a X11 session

  Because this doesn't show up on a screenshot I have included a photo,
  which also shows the monitor setup.
