Does anyone have an idea what I could do about this. Maybe some logs or
processes to check? This happens almost daily and is really starting to
get annoying.

It mostly seems to happen if I move from my secondary to my primary
screen past the bottom of the screen. It will first change into a long
stretched cursor and then after alternating between both screens quickly
it turns into a sliced cursor.

Title:
  Mouse cursor corrupts when moving between screens

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Often when moving between my primary and secondary screen, the mouse
  cursor gets corrupted. It often changes into a block with one or two
  lines, and when moving back and forth between the screens it turns
  back into a normal cursor again. However often it will also change
  into a cursor where it is sliced and the slices are in the wrong
  order. This does not resolve until I do a full reboot. Just restarting
  xorg is not enough.
