Public bug reported: If "fractional scaling" is set to 150%, then after login there is a second cursor stuck on the screen. Confirmed on both Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.04.
It is possible to fix it by switching back to 100% scaling and then set 150% again (every time you log in). Or, probably, have it as a startup script which I could not figure yet. Using Wayland is not an option for me because of reasons: lack of support from certain software such as IntelliJ IDEA so everything is blurry there with scaling enabled plus a couple of other issues.
