I meant to say that logging out and back in solves the issue for that
session only.

Title:
  1002:6798 [fglrx] VT cursor is visible and blinking on top of Unity
  Radeon HD 7970 and 5450

Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A black cursor is blinking on top of the screen.
  It is not as regular as a true shell prompt (because of glitches), but I'm sure this is the cursor of the underlying TTY.

  If I try to switch to any other TTY, the focus remains on the desktop
  (eg. I can still click and type in Firefox) but the black cursor does
  move as I type.

  For example, I just switched to TTY 1 and was able to log-in (I see it
  because of the cursor position on the screen), while my username and
  my password were also written in the text-box where I'm writing this
  bug report.

  This bug is really odd and annoying.
