Yes that's a common workaround with touchpads. Although as I understand it, this bug is about there being too many cursors. The fact that one of them is frozen is not a problem in itself.

This extra cursor frozen on screen issue exists in 20.10 Groovy Gorilla. (Just installed 20.10 on Lenovo T14 AMD and have a few issues to research.) Actual behavior: - Fractional scaling is on (actually needed to make laptop screen readable). - Extra cursor frozen on screen. Expected: - Fractional scaling on should not cause an extra dead cursor on screen. Remedy: - Turning off fractional scaling makes the dead cursor go away. If this should be reported elsewhere, let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875528 Title: Extra frozen / stuck mouse cursor after auto screen lock / sleep To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1875528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1875528] Re: Extra frozen / stuck mouse cursor after auto screen lock / sleep
To address the two other commenters who mentioned fractional scaling - that's definitely the cause of the extra mouse cursor in my case. If I set the display scaling back to 100%, the extra cursor goes away and stays away between reboots and logout/login cycles. Upon setting it back to 125%, the second cursor initially remains gone, but returns when I reboot the machine or log out and then back in. I'm also on 20.04, on a Thinkpad A485, Ryzen 7 Pro 2700U w/ Radeon Vega gfx. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875528 Title: Extra frozen / stuck mouse cursor after auto screen lock / sleep To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1875528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1875528] Re: Extra frozen / stuck mouse cursor after auto screen lock / sleep
I am also having this issue on a brand new laptop (Ryzen 5 4500), however the dead mouse pointer is there from a fresh reboot. It is left over from the login screen and remains there once the system has logged in. If I logout, the 'dead' mouse becomes the only one on the login screen, yet loging back in causes it to freeze while a second pointer becomes active.

@Syver Stensholt, I don't think it's possible to screenshot it. The screenshot does not capture the cursor even though it's there when the screenshot is taken.

I'm also having this issue, even with the latest Ubuntu 20.04.

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.

[Bug 1875528] Re: Extra frozen / stuck mouse cursor after auto screen lock / sleep
Experiencing same problem, in most cases displays that go into sleep modus (or you turn them off and on again) don't remove themselves from the display driver. But some displays gets removed form the gpu(or xorg, i don't know) display driver and the re-added. So basically this happens when you displays are re-arranging cause you added or removed a display (either manually or automatically by the display itself). This problem is viewable in multi-monitor setup, where 1 monitor is programmed to detach himself from the gpu when going to sleep or off, and the other(s) are just turning the screen black, but stay connected to the gpu. When you turn off you (problem) display, you actually see linux re-arranging windows/applications on the screen(s) that don't detach themselves from the gpu. Seeing this happen, I came to this conclusion, that some display detach themselves from the gpu when going to sleep, and therefore linux thinks a display is being removed and re-arranges everything. During this re-arrangement process a duplicate cursor is created and becomes frozen, a new cursor is created and becomes your primary cursor that behaves normally. possible fix for this is linux resetting all cursors in xorg/gpu driver when completing such re-arrangement process. I have zero understanding of xorg or gpu driver programming, but i do know that xorg is programmed to be able to have multiple cursors. So my suspicion is with xorg programming. I hope this gets fixed, It's really annoying, when you are working and have tons of apps open, you are required to log out and restart your workspace, which can be a hasle and time consuming. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875528 Title: Extra frozen / stuck mouse cursor after auto screen lock / sleep To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1875528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
