GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 789675
two mouse cursors visible at the same time on rotated screen
Last modified: 2018-03-30 07:38:23 UTC
I have a 3 screen setup on a notebook with intel graphics. The left one is in portrait view, the center one is in normal view and right is in normal view (buildin), mostly turned off. When the mouse is in left side of the center monitor it shows also on the left monitor bottom. The same problem is better described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/964239/ubuntu-17-10-cursor-mirrored-on-second-screen And here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1724977 And since those aren't my post, it affects multiple users. Thanks

I'm experiencing the same problem in gnome-shell 3.26.2-1 on Debian testing.
Happens on Fedora 27 as well. The problem appeared after the upgrade and was not present on Fedora 26 with GNOME 3.24.
*** Bug 791888 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Happens also in Ubuntu 17.10. Screen setup is similar to the original bug report. Using GeForce 940MX with nouveau.
I have this problem on Ubuntu 18.04 with Intel integrated graphics (on a Thinkpad T460s). Any way I can help you debug this?
I'm having this bug too on Debian Testing, a GTX 1080, and the proprietary drivers.

Correction: I updated my system and it re-installed the nouveau drivers, which is when the bug appeared. I re-installed the proprietary drivers and the bug has disappeared.
I am also affected by this 'feature'. I have 3 1920x1200 displays and primarily use my i7-6700hq's integrated graphics. I also have a discrete 960m; however, I don't believe it's in use. I am running Fedora 27 with Gnome 3.26.2. The issue only occurs with my leftmost monitor when it's set to portrait mode. Feel free to contact me if I can help troubleshoot this.
I'm also affected: x2 1920x1080 screens (left in portrait right mode and left in landscape mode) OS: Arch Linux GNOME: 3.26.2 Wayland: 1.14.0 Weston: 3.0.0 Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 530 (There is a secondary nVidia GTX 1050 but it is disabled and power disconnected) In my case the mouse from the top left corner (aproximattely a quarter of the screen area) of the landscape screen replicates onto the bottom left of the portrait screen, in landscape orientation. Actions do not affect the portrait screen. This issue does not happen with the reverse layout: left screen in landscape mode and right in portrait right mode.
I am also having this issue. Ubuntu 17.10 Pretty much same setup as OP.
This happens also on a ThinkPad T530 with Fedora 27, both with either the discrete (NVIDIA) or integrated (Intel) GPU enabled, but not with OPTIMUS.
This bug has moved to: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/85 where it is now fixed.
Fixed with MR!59
