[Bug 1073494] Re: The "waiting" cursor won't go away

 

Not reproducible.
It happened to me just that one time, as far as I remember.

Again, if it is even just _possible_ that an application can happen to
"leak" cursor state and affect the behavior of the cursor for the whole
system, something is either buggy or badly designed at the system level
(don't know whether it's Unity or Xorg or what, but not just the
application that triggers it).

Title:
  The "waiting" cursor won't go away

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The mouse cursor has remained trapped in the rotating-circle animated "waiting-for-something-to-complete" status. 
  I have closed all programs that I had opened, I have opened and used some, closed them again and it's still there rotating as if there was some operation in progress. It's been more than half an hour.
