[Bug 1390625] Re: mouse cursor gets corrupted

 

Workaround from the bug-report comment , it worked for me

Workaround in Xubuntu 14.10:
1. Open "Display" in "Settings Manager".
2. Change resolution to some other value and click "Apply".
2. Change back to previous resolution and click "Apply".

in Freya
1. System Settings - Dsiplay - Resolution > choose other resolution
2. Apply
3. Restore previous settings

It works for me in a same sesseion , until I log out or shutdown the
system

Title:
  mouse cursor gets corrupted

Status in elementary OS:
  Confirmed
Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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