Public bug reported: After setting fractional scaling to 150%, a dead mouse pointer stays visible on screen. It is smaller than the functional one (it seems to be the size it should have at 100%).
My configuration: - Ubuntu 20.04 - AMD Radeon 5700 XT using open source drivers - Logitech MX Master 3 over Bluetooth - 4k LG Monitor I saw similar bugs reported for other hardware configs, but they got closed/duped (with a request to reopen, so I am doing that here): - Nvidia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1827428 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1829221 I see the following work-arounds: - Move the mouse to the bottom right edge of the screen. This needs to be done on every login however, as the login screen itself is at 100% - Install a mainline kernel (I tried 5.6 and didn't see the issue with it) - however, that breaks other things ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.36.1-5ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-29.33-generic 5.4.30 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-29-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue May 12 12:44:34 2020 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-12-10 (154 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.36.1-3ubuntu3 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-04-25 (17 days ago) ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878282 Title: Second (dead) mouse pointer on screen after applying fractional scaling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1878282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
