Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.22+3
Severity: important
After resuming from hibernation the mouse on my laptop behaves really
strangely.
Sometimes it shows 2-3-4 mouse cursors, sometimes it show tens or even hundreds
(well, I didn't count them but the screen was covered with it) of mouse
cursors. Generally there is some animation/change in the cursors, so they are
appearing and disappearing on a rhytmical basis. This is what I call "trail" as
it somewhat resembles the "Mouse trail" function from Windows, where the mouse
leaves a trail of 10-20 mouse pointers behind it which shows the path traveled
with the mousein the last few seconds. Only in my case those multiple mouse
cursors aren't disappearing from themselves, I have to change the content of
the windows underneath which on redraw hides these extra pointers.
It is really annoying, because as a bonus the extra mouse pointers are showing
the previous content beneath them. Eg: if I check a checkbox, there is a
certain possibility that exactly that mouse pointer location get memorized, so
it will display the mouse pointer above the checkbox together with the checkbox
(checked or unchecked) and I can't really be sure about the value of the
checkbox unless I move the page or the window to invalidate and redraw that
part of the screen.
Sometimes the extra cursors disappear if I stop moving the mouse, but mostly it
just keeps animating.
A reboot solves the problem, but after another hibernation it starts again.
If the above description is not enough I can try to make a short video of the
problem (screenshot only shows the single mouse cursor on the proper position).
I can reproduce this bug with some 90% reliability.
I'm running Debian Stretch (fully updated) on a Lenovo X201 laptop. It has an
Intel HD Graphics integrated video card.
I installed the system in september 2017 and this bug is with me for a few
month (I can't really tell if it was there from the beginning or not).
