I'll also add that this problem is still present in kernel 5.8 (no
matter if you use "modesetting" or "intel" driver for the Braswell GPU.
My current setup:
System:Kernel: 5.4.0-58-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0
Desktop: Cinnamon 4.6.7
wm: muffin dm: LightDM

I'd like to share a slightly improved workaround on this for those still
dealing with the issue. The core problem seems to be that the mouse
cursor can go into a negative X position by one pixel when moved to the
far left of the screen. With either the now obsolete intel proprietary
I can confirm that the problem is present with both the intel and the
modesetting driver on Braswell systems. The exact symptoms differ for
each, but in both cases it is triggered when the mouse touches the left
limit of the screen. With modesetting, it seems to "stick" until you
move the mouse
