1. Please describe the problem:
Gnome on Wayland: in the activities overview, the pointer becomes invisible after resume from suspend

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
5.2.6-200.fc30.x86_64 

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :
It worked ok before the update, but it freezed. Before it was necesary to set parameter: psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0 (descrbed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1442699 )

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
Suspend, resume, click activities or press super key and pointer becomes invisible

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:


6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
no

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

after some time, it behaves "normal" again and shows up in activities overview

Comment 4 frog 2019-09-11 23:33:47 UTC
are these issues not the same:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739832
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1738614
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739169
for me this issue is still occurring in Fedora 30. I have it for a month now on 3 machines and definitely started experiencing this after an update in begin August. I am updating all my machines daily. the workaround of opening a new application in Activities is the best for me. my question is if these bugs should not be merged and the priority raised, since it is basic functionality for the GUI/desktop and a regress

Comment 5 Hans de Goede 2019-09-12 07:49:19 UTC
There have been reports that this is caused by recent kernel changes; and from other reports it seems that this is fixed by the 5.3 kernels.

If you have this bug, please try installing a 5.3 kernel and report back to us if that helps. I suggest trying this kernel:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1375052

Yes this is a F31 kernel, but those work fine on F30. For instructions for installing a kernel directly from koji (our build system) see:
