Public bug reported: When using a stylus, a persistent cursor appears in the top left corner of the screen after lifting the stylus off the screen.
This isn't only a visual glitch, but makes applications like Xournal++ unusable and glitchy, because the cursor always jumps outside of the window when switching between pen and eraser mode with the button on the side of the stylus. (And probably causes Xournal++ to miss stylus events. Sometimes, the stylus doesn't even draw anymore, and sometimes it's stuck in eraser or stylus mode. The only "fix" seems to be lifting the stylus from the screen and putting it back in range again.) This is a regression from Ubuntu 24.04, where I've been happily taking notes during Lectures. See upstream bug report for mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/work_items/4678 Should be fixed by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5126 And backported to gnome-shell 50.3 by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5146 Is this ever gonna get fixed in Ubuntu 26.04?
