I have the same issue with KDE neon and Nvidia 396.51 on a Dell XPS 15 9570 (GTX 1050 Ti). Restarting sddm fixes the issue but is really annoying.

This square covers some area next to the pointer, but it is not always clear exactly where (a link to a screenshot is shown below, please note the white square with some text from the previous webpage displayed in that window). This makes selecting text difficult, as one never knows where exactly the selection ends. Also, scrolling in some windows becomes problematic, as the pointer shadows a part of the scrollbar. When a text is being typed, one needs to make sure that the pointer is parked sufficiently far from the text (so, to make a long story short, this is very annoying). This behavior does not depend on the choice of the cursor theme.
