3. what I expected to happen
The mouse pointer to appear at all points on the screens when moved
there.
4. what happened instead
4.1
When I move my mouse pointer to the far left of the sidebar, it stops
and sticks inline with the left edge of the icons; this occurs even when
moving the cursor to a part of the sidebar that is empty (i.e. no
icons). When this occurs (i.e. when the pointer sticks), if I move my
mouse up or down, the names of the other icons/programs flash up as they
usually do when you hover over them, as if the pointer is moving even
though it is still stuck. And if I do this, moving the mouse up some
distance, then move it right slightly, the pointer reappears up where it
should have been (given the names it has been flashing up).
4.2
I used kazam (in the repositories) to make a video of the behaviour. It
is included. Strangely, though, in the video the pointer follows what I
expected to happen. What I was seeing on the screen was as described
above.
5. other information
Previously, I changed settings using unity tweak. I do not know whether
the problem started before or after I did that. I ran the command
"unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity" successfully and the problem remained.
