Bug description:
[Impact]
When I move the mouse around, it sometimes vanishes completely, and sometimes
jumps over to the left or top left of the screen. If I'm moving a window with
the mouse at the time, the window vanishes or jumps over to the left or top
left as well.
[Fix]
Patch cherrypicked from upstream
[Test Case]
While using virtualbox, move mouse around.
Expected: Smooth mouse movement
Actual: Jerky movement with mouse jumping to 0,0 periodically
[Regression Potential]
Low. No known issues, and test has received review and testing upstream, and
so is not expected to show regressions.
Things to watch for include X server crashes, and strange mouse
behaviors, both of which should be pretty obvious.
[Recommended Validation]
* Confirmation from a couple affected users
* 1-week minimum time in -proposed to identify regressions
[Original Report]
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 inside a VirtualBox 4.2RC2 VM, and Ubuntu doesn't
recognise the 3d drivers so it is falling back to llvmpipe.
When I move the mouse around, it sometimes vanishes completely, and
sometimes jumps over to the left or top left of the screen. If I'm
moving a window with the mouse at the time, the window vanishes or
jumps over to the left or top left as well.
With 'force complete redraw on initial damage' turned on, it seems
that glitch happens much more frequently.
