Description Alex Markley 2016-03-07 11:34:07 EST

Description of problem:

When logged into gnome-shell under Xorg on a fully-updated Fedora 23 system, the mouse cursor suddenly becomes invisible when entering into the activities overview, or when interacting with the activities toolbar.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

The problem appears to be caused by the update to mutter-3.18.3-1.fc23

How reproducible:

100% reproducible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to gnome-shell.
2. Enter activities overview.
3. Observe mouse cursor has disappeared.

Actual results:

Invisible mouse cursor.

Expected results:

Mouse cursor should remain visible.

Additional info:

I solved this problem for myself by downgrading mutter (dnf downgrade mutter)

This version is running currently without any problems: mutter-3.18.1-4.fc23

I confirm, I had the same problem, I could also not see the cursor on the top menubar.

Downgrading mutter also fixed the problem.

Comment 2 Giedrius Slavinskas 2016-03-08 05:07:30 EST

Same here, downgrading mutter solves the issue. It is a critical bug for non-tech users.

I'm seeing this on a desktop:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)

and my Lenovo T530:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [NVS 5400M] (rev a1)

It was also reported on the following hardware in Bug 131590:

Lenovo M30-70 laptop with i915 graphics (Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller).

Comment 6 Juan Orti 2016-03-08 15:20:38 EST

In my PC with a radeon card I don't have this problem.

# rpm -q mutter
mutter-3.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64

# lspci
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Barts XT [Radeon HD 6870]

Comment 7 Alex Markley 2016-03-08 15:26:56 EST

For reference, this is the hardware configuration I am running which is affected by this problem:

$ dmesg | grep -i macbookpro
[    0.000000] DMI: Apple Inc. MacBookPro12,1/Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6, BIOS MBP121.88Z.0167.B15.1510261437 10/26/2015

$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)

I am happy to provide any additional information as requested.
