[Bug 1414778] Re: Click and draw of certain links results in double mouse pointer

 

This appears to potentially be the same bug as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1393169.

As mentioned there, I have the same problem in Utopic AMD64 with MATE
1.8.1; this began immediately on my upgrade from Trusty to Utopic and
continues to the present. I have a double mouse pointer appear
intermittently during web browsing (Firefos 35.0.1), often when click-
dragging a link to open in new tab, and then it persists.  Although two
pointers are visible only the left pointer is active. If I log out and
back in, the single mouse pointer is restored.

This is a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P with the latest BIOS, and I am fully
updated on Utopic AMD64 with no broken packages etc.

Title:
  Click and draw of certain links results in double mouse pointer

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. Open www.efneo.com/en/hub/ with Firefox (35.0)
  2. At the bottom there is a circle with a mouse pictogram and an animated arrow. Click on it with your left mouse button, draw it a couple of cm and release the button. Now you should have a double mouse pointer with parts of the circle and mouse pictogram. Here it looks like this: http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/doublemousepohna02kloqg.jpg
  3. While both of the visible mouse pointers are somewhat distorted the left one is fully functional, also in other applications. (except on one of the systems I tested, where the mouse pointer went back no normal when closing Firefox)

  I tried to reproduce this on 3 notebooks with Xubuntu and succeded on
  all of them. I also noticed that while I can see the strange mouse
  pointer on the screen I was not able to capture it with
  xfce4-screenshooter. In the captured picture the mouse pointer always
  looks normal.
