GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 746594
Mouse Cursor hidden by top bar and gone in Overlay
Last modified: 2017-09-24 14:39:56 UTC
When the mouse cursor is in the top bar area, as it enter the area it is no longer drawn and not visible. In overlay mode, ie. Activites, or setup menu, the mouse cursor is not visible at all. Gray highlighting of the area it hovers over is functional. PROBLEM: Mouse cursor disappears in various situations EXPECTED: Mouse cursor to always be visible Ubuntu 14.10 Gnome-shell 3.14.3 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging Hardware: MacBookAir6,2 (early 2014, 13") Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a26] (rev 09)

I have this bug as well on two machines with two GPUs. One is an older nvidia and the other is intel 4000 on core i5 both 64bit. Recently upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 with gnome shell 3.14.4 on both. I'm happy to supply any needed system information and/or will redirect if this is an ubuntu-only bug.
You can try a different distro's live environment (CD or USB) to be sure if this is Ubuntu specific.
This affects me as well on Fedora 23: * GNOME 3.18.2 * Xorg 1.18 * Linux 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 I have a Broadwell i7 and I've tried using glamor, sna, and uxa acceleration. The problem happens with each.
(In reply to major from comment #4) > This affects me as well on Fedora 23 If this is with mutter-3.18.3-1, can you try updating to mutter-3.18.3-2?
I will give that a try and report back, Florian. On my system currently: $ rpm -qa |grep mutter mutter-3.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64
(In reply to major from comment #6) > $ rpm -qa |grep mutter > mutter-3.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64 Yeah, that's a known issue then, see bug 763159.
Florian -- mutter-3.18.3-2 is a success! Thanks so much.
