I'm also having this issue, even with the latest Ubuntu 20.04. I tried taking a screenshot of it with Spectacle, but when it asked me to draw rectangular region both my screens blacked out and came back every second. This removed the extra cursor too, which is weird and might suggest the two issues being related. I've also had problems with fullscreening both YouTube and Netflix. Could it all be related to fractional scaling? (I'm a noob, pure speculation)

What happened instead: After my computer had gone to sleep and I logged in I noticed a second frozen/stuck mouse cursor was on screen and was rendered in one place over any active application windows. ==== I recently upgraded to 20.04 from 19.10 but the same issue was occurring in 19.10 as well. Logging out completely then logging back in again removed the extra frozen cursor. ==== lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 apt-cache policy mutter mutter: Installed: 3.36.1-3ubuntu3 Candidate: 3.36.1-3ubuntu3 Version table: *** 3.36.1-3ubuntu3 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: mutter 3.36.1-3ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-26.30-generic 5.4.30 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Apr 27 19:53:03 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-03-09 (415 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" - Release amd64 (20181017.3) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-04-28 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1875528/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
