Bug description:
  Impact
  ------

  The pointer's depiction (i.e. arrow, hand etc.) becomes stuck in
  Wayland GTK core22 snaps after using the mouse to drag stuff in that
  window.

  Test plan
  ---------

  This test plan involves moving the mouse pointer around a lot. Do not
  let the mouse pointer leave the window, unless directed otherwise.

  + Reproduce the bug:
  ++ Start the Gnome Wayland session (Ubuntu's default);
  ++ snap run firefox;
  ++ Select text (say, from the bug's title);
  ++ Now drag the text. More specifically:
  +++ Move the mouse pointer over that text;
  +++ Click button1, move the mouse outside the selected text area, and release button1;
  ++ Click button1 to unselect the text;
  ++ Move the mouse pointer over some text;
  !!The mouse pointer does not become a beam, but it should;
  ++ Move the mouse pointer over a link;
  !!The mouse pointer does not become a hand, but it should;
  + Install these packages from proposed:
    gir1.2-mutter-16 deb introspection optional arch=linux-any
    libmutter-16-0 deb libs optional arch=linux-any
    mutter deb x11 optional arch=linux-any
    mutter-common deb misc optional arch=all
    mutter-common-bin deb misc optional arch=linux-any
  + Log out;
  + Verify the bug is fixed:
  ++ Start the Gnome Wayland session (Ubuntu's default);
  ++ snap run firefox;
  ++ Select text (say, from the bug's title);
  ++ Now drag the text. More specifically:
  +++ Move the mouse pointer over that text;
  +++ Click button1, move the mouse outside the selected text area, and release button1;
  ++ Click button1 to unselect the text;
  ++ Move the mouse pointer over some text;
  !!The mouse pointer becomes a beam, as it should;
  ++ Move the mouse pointer over a link;
  !!The mouse pointer becomes a hand, as it should.

  Where things could go wrong
  ---------------------------

  In mouse pointer events, particularly dragging/dropping with the
  mouse, when using the Gnome desktop environment.
