It does still work: I can still control it, and use it to click and select, it just won't show anymore on that monitor. The mouse cursor will still re-appear on my other monitor once I move it there, but is gone again when moved back. When I move the cursor quickly between the two monitors, it sometimes switches monitors: it appears on the monitor it was previously gone, and disappears on the other one. Most of the time, when I just try moving the mouse often enough between monitors, it will suddenly start working again.

I have the same bug. It happens perhaps 50% of the time when I wake the computer from suspend-to-RAM. I'm using an external monitor as primary, with my laptop monitor shut off. The only way to fix it is to start up the "Displays" program under Hardware settings and re-enable the laptop monitor - then the mouse pointer appears again. This is in Fedora 22.
I seem to get this mostly with Firefox (Xwayland?)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
