It's likely we haven't fixed all possible causes of this issue and there may be an indefinite number of causes of the same symptoms in gnome- shell/mutter.
If anyone still experiences the problem in mutter 3.38.3-3ubuntu1 or later then please open a new bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690719 Title: Mouse pointer randomly pauses/stutters in gnome shell Wayland sessions Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in Mutter: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The mouse pointer randomly pauses/stutters in Gnome Shell (Wayland). It's not reliably smooth like you would see in Xorg or Mir demo servers. Feels like there is a blocking call being made in a GUI thread that shouldn't have any blocking calls. Although it's not clear if this is just a problem with pointer input or the shell compositing in general.
