Hello Daniel,
I want to thank you for your help in solving my left-edge cursor bug in
Linux Mint/Ubuntu.
My original post was at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948528, and you
responded with a very kind note and forwarded me to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767654, where I found the workaround
solution from Bob Lawrence's comment.
Since I am a non-technical user of Linux Mint, and since I make bug
reports very rarely (this was my first one), can you suggest a method
for filing a bug report if I find a bug in the future? I don't
understand things like, for example, where to find my GPG key for making
a new bug report.
I also don't know how best to communicate with you, so I used all 3
email addresses that were associated with this bug report -- sorry about
the redundancy.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Ruby
Linux Mint user

Title:
Mouse pointer doesn't reach left edge of screen
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In the live-boot USB stick of Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 LTS:
My mouse pointer does not visually reach the left edge of the screen.
Logically the pointer functionality does reach the left edge, in the
sense that it can select and copy text that extends to the left edge,
but the pointer cannot be viewed performing this action; the displayed
pointer stops (appears frozen) about two millimeters from the left
edge.
The pointer reaches the upper, lower, and right edges of the screen
without any problem.
My mouse and screen are brand new. My computer is 5 years old (launch
2016, purchase 2019).
I have the same problem with my Linux Mint (Cinnamon and Mate
desktops), which is based on Ubuntu. I perform regular updates to the
system. The file /var/log/Xorg.0.log does not show any errors or
warnings related to the mouse.
The problem in Linux Mint persists even if I change:
- Screen resolution
- Theme
- Windows settings (Focus mode)
- General settings (VSync method, Compositing)
- Mouse acceleration and sensitivity
- Disabling of all Effects
Note that there is no problem with the mouse pointer with a live-boot
USB stick containing Linux EndeavourOS.
