Yeah it is an annoying bug.  I'm staying with Luna until it's fixed. I'm
finding it just as stable if not more stable than my windows 7 laptop.
Although Freya does have some very cool features I miss a little.

  mouse cursor gets corrupted

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).
