Public bug reported:
Using newest Quantal the mouse cursor started behaving strangely. When I
move the mouse, the cursor jumps back and forth between two locations,
which can up to a centimeter apart. Both cursor locations move according
to mouse motion.
If I push the cursors to the top left corner, they overlap. However in
use they start to slowly drift apart again.
This is not a rendering bug. The cursor actually moves. This can be
verified like this:
Suppose the two mouse locations are A and B and there are application
two buttons called 1 and 2. These buttons are separate, they have some
space (or another widget) between them. Then one moves the cursor so
location A is over button 1 and location B is over button 2. Moving the
mouse even a tiny distance makes the cursor jump between these two
locations randomly. When location A is active, pressing the mouse button
activates button 1. Correspondingly location B activates button 2.
