Public bug reported:
Sometimes - I'm afraid I don't know precisely what triggers it, I
suspect it is an accidental drag over a task bar icon - the mouse
pointer shown when hovering over the task bar gets stuck showing "small
hand with a small arrow below and to the right of it pointing at the
hand" instead of the usual arrow pointer. Once this happens I can't find
any way to get back to the normal pointer except using "ALT-F2 r" to
restart cinnamon. The pointer is fine over other windows when this
happens, it's just over the task bar. I can switch away to a virtual
console and back without it making any difference. This seems mostly
cosmetic; I can still click on icons on the task bar.
(I probably have the terminology wrong. By "task bar" I mean the bar
which shows the names of the open windows; clicking on one of the
windows shown on that bar brings that window to the foreground.)
This is with Ubuntu 18.04.1, the cinnamon package is 3.6.7-8ubuntu1.
