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