Title:
  compiz+gedit mouse curser disappearing

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After typing some text in gedit, the mouse curser does not appear.
  After switching to another window and back, everything is normal
  again.

  I use Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity, with the included free driver for AMD
  video cards. No related costumized packages installed. I have no idea
  whether it is gedit or compiz or Xorg, I could not reproduce the bug
  with other programs (text boxes in browser, libreoffice etc.). My
  other computer (Thinkpad X60 with Intel video card) does not show this
  behavior.

  I made a screencast to demonstrate the phenomenon:
  - First few seconds: Curser is fine
  - After typing some characters: Curser hardly visible
  - After switching windows: Everything fine again

  Please try to reproduce the behavior.

  The bug has been around for some months, not only the latest version,
  but now I got really annoyed by not being able to use the mouse to
  select text.
