Public bug reported: I have 2 monitors plugged in and using in a dual screen set up. Occasionally (~ once or twice per month), the mouse pointer will just dissappear from the left monitor. The screen still displays stuff and is updated. I can move the mouse pointer over to that monitor and i can still click on things and the clicks cause actions etc., however I can't see the pointer. This only happens to the left monitor. This is a work machine and the only sort of programmes I'm running is a webbrowser, terminal, gVim, etc., no full screen applications or game or 3d graphics or anything like this.
How do I fix this? Is there more information I can provide?
