Description Adrien Vergé 2016-03-09 08:58:40 UTC
Description of problem:

With update to mutter-3.18.3-1.fc23, mouse cursor becomes invisible when over top bar (Activities, etc.) or in "overview" mode (super key). It is possible to click, but not to see where the cursor is. The pointer gets visible again when over normal windows. Downgrading to mutter-3.18.1-4.fc23 solves the problem.

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

3.18.3-1

How reproducible: on a Gnome shell environment

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mutter-3.18.3-1.fc23
2. Reload shell (Alt+F2 then 'r')

Actual results:

Mouse pointer disappears when over top bar or in "overview" mode.

Expected results:

Mouse pointer does not disappear at all.

Additional info:

Fedora 23
GNOME Shell 3.18.4

Comment 1 Jiri Eischmann 2016-03-09 10:36:03 UTC
I can confirm this after the last update. It only occurs on Xorg, works fine on Wayland.

Comment 2 Volker Sobek 2016-03-09 21:25:54 UTC
Same issue for me after the last update [0]. I don't see the mouse pointer while in the Activities overview. The cursor is there when using a wayland session, but not with Xorg. Meanwhile, after some time of using gnome-shell, the mouse pointer is now visible again in the overview.
