Description Ralph Giles 2017-11-14 20:36:35 UTC
Description of problem:

I have three displays connected to a Radeon RX480. One is 3840x2160 (landscape), the other two are 1200x1920 (portrait left and right, respectively). The 4k display is indexed as the third one in the Displays panel of the Settings app, and arranged as the rightmost of the three displays.

After upgrading to Fedora 27, when the mouse pointer is near the left edge of the 4k display, it also appears on the adjacent 2k display. The extra pointer is displayed as if the display was in landscape mode, so it appears rotated relative to the display contents. It seems to be just a display bug; click events go correctly to items on the 4k display.

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

wayland-1.14.0-1.fc27
gnome-shell-3.26.2-1.fc27

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

I haven't tried to reproduce from a fresh config. Hopefully it's reproducible with a similar config.

Comment 2 Ralph Giles 2017-11-15 22:04:57 UTC
If I unplug one of the 2k monitors I can still reproduce if the remaining 2k monitor is in 'portrait left' but not 'landscape'. So the issue should be reproducible with two screens.

Any hints on how to debug this?

Comment 3 Josejulio Martínez 2017-11-29 22:33:06 UTC
It also happens to me, I have two monitors and one is on 'Portrait right'.
Any hint on how to debug or provide more information?

Comment 4 Matt Wilmott 2017-11-29 23:03:17 UTC
Also happening here. Incidentally my third screen on the left is in portrait as well. Using the intel i915 driver and wayland

Comment 5 Luca Villa 2017-12-01 15:09:52 UTC
Same here with 3 screens on Wayland. 
The second pointer appears on the monitor on the left which is set as portrait. All of the 3 screens are set to 1920x1080.

Comment 6 Michael Stahl 2018-01-03 15:09:41 UTC
same problem here, 2 screens, left one set to "Portrait right", right one "landscape".

Comment 7 Evan Jarrett 2018-01-31 06:39:45 UTC
I currently have this problem after a system upgrade from 26 to 27.
I have a triple monitor setup, with the leftmost monitor set to "portrait right" (like most people commenting)

My current work around is to align the bottom of my left monitor (in portrait right) to the bottom of my center monitor (in landscape)

If I align the top, so that there are more pixels below my center monitor the "ghost" cursor appears. After some testing, I found that this only happens in "portrait right" and "portrait left" on the left-most monitor. Adjusting the position and orientation on my right monitor doesn't have an affect.

Comment 8 Ralph Giles 2018-01-31 16:52:51 UTC
Thanks, Evan, for the new data. Hopefully that will help narrow down the issue.

Comment 9 Andrew Azores 2018-02-06 01:01:56 UTC
As a temporary workaround, selecting "GNOME on Xorg" at login does work with F27 and the same gnome-shell version.

Comment 10 Michael Stahl 2018-03-12 10:01:17 UTC
since the last dnf update i'm back to one cursor, this is works-for-me.

Comment 11 Josejulio Martínez 2018-03-12 16:46:00 UTC
I just did a dnf update and i still see the duplicate cursor when moving on the top left part of my screen.

Comment 12 Mariano Alda 2018-03-20 13:08:14 UTC
Same here under Wayland with 3 monitors: left horizontal, middle vertical (physically rotated right, image rotated left), right horizontal. Attaching image that shows screen configuration: primary screen #3, which is the most left one (ordered 312 from left to right).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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 '27'.

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 27 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.

Comment 15 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 22:53:29 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 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.
