Thank you very much I will absolutely try this on 21.04 - I bought a
System76 Thelio recently which I love love LOVE and I purposefully added
an extra 5TB HD I could use as a scratch / play / random distribution
drive.
I really REALLY appreciate the response. I love Linux and Ubuntu and
want to
You just made me laugh, thank you :) Hisenburg... LOL.
The correct package is not really your job, ideally a *bug triager*
would have detected a filing against a imperfect package & corrected...
I'm not a GNOME user, but if was GNOME related `gnome-shell` is likely
what I'd have used (alas I
Hi there @guiverc thank you very much for the response.
I filed the bug using the automated 'ubuntu-bug' program and I'll admit
it's a crappy bug.
I've updated it with a concise problem description and steps to
reproduce.
As to which package it's in, could you please give me any advice on how

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your

I bit the bullet and shot this happening with my smart phone. Apologies
for the video quality but this should help showcase what a usability

Just an update to #17 - I've since had to turn this off because it
destabilized my Pop! OS install terribly. I was seeing 3-5 hard lockups
a day.
Since I turned it off it's been rock solid.
Still super sad that there aren't the resources necessary to fix such a
show stopper for low vision
I've been running 20.10 since November 2020 and the pointer scribbling
just started up during the last week after an update or new software
installation. I'm not sure what might have caused it to start.
I can confirm that disabling Zoom in system settings/accessibility does
make it go away.

Hi everyone!
Let me just say that System76's awesome lifetime support just showed
itself to be PRICELESS in my book!
Nathan from System76 gave me the following work-around, and it WORKED!
Add:
```
CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
```
to /etc/environment and reboot! For me
Can also confirm on Pop!_OS 20.10 on a Thelio R2 with AMD graphics. I'd
thought maybe this was an Nvidia binary blob issue but maybe it's a core
Gnome issue.
Good luck to any partially blind person trying to use this :\

I've just found when /org/gnome/desktop/interface/enable-animations
changed to false in dconf, I see no rectangles. However, mouse cursor
starts to lag which is even worse.

Also to clarify, it's no longer just the desktop background. With a
clean install of 20.10, the mouse pointer now scribbles over everything
with a square pixel eraser.

Oh wow. Confirming that this bug not only still exists but is even more
severe (shows up in pretty much every application) in Groovy Gorilla
dailies.

Though, I use zoom not as frequent, maybe once or twice a day, disable
Zoom is not comfortable for me, too.
I found that there is a short cut for enable/disable zoom. Along with
other short cuts, they are:
Super + Alt + 8 = Toggle zoom
Super + Alt + = = Zoom in
Super + Alt + - = Zoom out
Indeed, disabling zoom works. Though, it's not an option for me, because
I need it for work (not that much as Christopher, though).

Hi,
I just wanted to thank the one who mentioned about disabling the zoom. It
really worked for my pop os 20.04. But I still wish for a proper solution
though. Anyway, thank you.

Glad to hear you guys are in good shape.
Being partially blind and fine motor impaired, "Disable zoom"
might as well be "Lop off an arm".
(I'm actually not kidding. Key chorded zoom is how I can actually make
use of a computer. Again Elementary excels at this)

Hi Ted,
I was experiencing this too! Your fix worked for me... disabled zoom: no
more trails.
I seemed to only get the on the desktop background ... each set of
trails would clear themselves after a second or two, and they seem to be
flickering a bit, so perhaps they are only appearing in the
Hi Ted!
I'd upgraded from 19.10 myself.
I haven't heard of any response, and while I tried to research the
problem (I have a fair set of tech chops) I got lost in the weeds as to
even which subsystem in particular I should be reporting it under, much
less what steps I could take to put some more
OK so I took a screencast to try to capture the issue, and it does show
up although the screencast renders the trail left behind the cursor as
square blobs rather than outlines.
