Still a problem as at 19 April 2013 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with up to date system.
As reported above this is affecting certain (fullscreen?) games (e.g. Lugaru) + XBMC where the mouse continually (and almost instantly) jumps back to the center of the screen (or some other fixed point) whenever you try to move the mouse. Makes using affected appications impossible: You can't even click on the close/quit button because you cannot get the mouse pointer over the buttons before the pointer snaps back to the center of the screen! running terminal command: killall unclutter ...immediately solves the issue in all affected programs. However, it's hardly fair to expect novice users to have to do this. Any chance this bug's "importance" can be bumped up considering it renders certain programs unuseable? my hardware = Toshiba Satellite C850 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unclutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61105 Title: Mouse jumps to center in (sdl?/opengl?) games Status in “unclutter” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unclutter” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: I have this bug in Edgy with Nexuiz, Tremulous and Wormux, so i assume it is on a deeper level. SDL maybe? The mouse jumps around every second or so. Sometimes regularly to the center, but sometimes to other points. It looks like some kind of position reset or something. It happens fullscreen and windowed. (summary of comments: It's unclutter's fault. It interferes with SDL's relative mouse input. If you're seeing this bug and there isn't a smarter unclutter released yet, just killall unclutter.)
