Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.34.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The mouse pointer gets invisible on desktop background and the shell
elements after some desktop actions. Application windows have a
full functional mouse pointer. Unfortunately I cannot explain which
situation gets the pointer invisible, probably suspending the laptop and
start it again.
* Move the mouse pointer around an application window (pointer can be
seen)
* Move the pointer to the background or to the top bar
Expected: Mouse pointer is still visible
Actual behaviour: Mouse pointer gets invisible
It is quite difficult to explain when this effect occured. I assume it
began when changing to a 5.x kernel still with gnome-shell 3.2. No
changes with 3.4.
There are some ways to force a visible mouse pointer again, like opening
the "change background" dialog. But after some actions (switching between
windows of different programs) the cursor is invisible again.
I am using "focus on moving mouse over" set in tweak tool's window
tab.
