GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 763532
Mouse disappear on panel and windows overview with dual screen
Last modified: 2016-03-12 14:24:16 UTC
Im using two 4k screens and the mouse is invisible when on the panel or in the windows overview. Restarting gnome-shell doesn't solve the problem. The mouse is working fine, I can click and I can see the button being highlighted but I cannot see the mouse itself which makes it completely unusable. I tried to stop every extension I have and the problem persist.
This is fixed in the 3.18 mutter branch so you can either apply the patch[0] locally or ask your distribution to include it. As a temporary work around, you can either downgrade mutter to 3.18.2 or make sure your 2 monitors are aligned such that the coordinate (0, 0) falls into one of them.
