Public bug reported: I often get into the state where the cursor on my internal laptop display (1920x1080 resolution) gets corrupted into a single-pixel wide vertical dotted bar (see approximate center of attached screenshot), but the mouse cursor on my external display (1920x1200 resolution) is fine.
alternate cursors (window resize handles/text cursor, etc) either display the same vertical bar, stretch it out a few extra pixels, or cause the cursor to disappear entirely. gnome-screenshot captures that include the cursor _do_ appear correct, but not sure how much of that is screenshot-capturing-cursor-emulation type code.
