[Bug 1390625] [NEW] mouse cursor gets corrupted

 

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 14.10, the mouse cursor graphic gets corrupted under certain
occasions. It then looks flipped, sheared or shows fragments of a
previews cursor.

* when switching the cursor them forth and back in Gnome Tweak Tool
* when drag&dropping a document icon

Maybe related, the cursor does not always show the correct image scale
on a high-dpi display (this was working right in 14.04). For example
after login, or when hovering specific areas, or on mouse down to start
a drag&drop, the cursor appears 1/4 the expected size.

Attached is a photo of a corrupted cursor (whereas a screenshot with
Gimp showed the uncorrupted cursor).
