[Bug 1512634] [NEW] Mouse pointer gets distorted / broken on dual screen setup

 

Public bug reported:

The mouse pointer is fine at boot, but after working a couple of minutes
it gets distorted. I move my mouse pointer back and forth between my two
screens all the time. The actual distortion happends randomly on the
"screen swich" and when I move my pointer on one of my screens.
Sometimes I can see a slightly distortion and if I move my mouse pointer
on top of a scrollbar its back to normal. But just for a little while,
then its permanently distorted. And it happends only on one of the
screens, never on both at the same time.
