Description Lee 2017-02-20 22:25:29 UTC 
When using the GNOME magnifier (Zoom) in a Wayland session or on GDM the mouse cursor is invisible, the cursor is still present and with some care and guess work you can interact with clickable elements.

To reproduce:
1. When on the GDM login screen press Supper + Alt + 8 to activate the magnifier and observe that it is invisible.

or

2. From GDM select the GNOME Wayland session option and login.
3. Press Supper + Alt + 8 to activate the magnifier and observe that it is invisible.

Tested on GNOME 3.22.3 on Arch Linux Using an Intel 6th generation NUC.
