[Bug 1387219] Re: Mouse pointer disappears and cursor stops blinking
I installed libgtk-3-0 v 3.14.4-1 which removed ubuntu-desktop any some
other applications. I then reinstalled the missing applications,
restarted my computer and the problem with gedit was fixed but the
libgtk-3-0 package was listed as broken and the package management
system wouldn't let me install new software so I reverted libgtk-3-0
back to 3.12.2-0ubuntu15 and the problem with gedit is still fixed. I
hope this helps with finding a solution as wouldn't recommend anyone
trying what I did to fix it as I have no idea how or why it happened and
I wouldn't want anyone to break their system.
