For anyone else affected by this bug, I've written a script that toggles the scaling mode back and forth to fix the problem and then restore your desired scaling mode on each monitor.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- shell/+bug/1875404/+attachment/5361667/+files/xrandr-fix.sh Just set that script to run at login (e.g. by adding it to Startup Applications). Your screen will flicker momentarily on login, since the script is changing resolutions, but then the extra mouse cursor will be gone automatically. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873052 Title: GNOME 3.36 Lands Scaled/Transformed Hardware Cursors Support and keeps another not scaled cursor mid screen Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Showing two cursors after login to ubuntu-desktop.
