Public bug reported: I have two screens, and sometimes on one of the screens mouse cursor gets corrupted. So far always vertically in 5 slices. The corrupt cursor is always in the primary screen. The cursor is fine on the second screen. If I take a screenshot (using the screenshot application on Linuxmint) cursor looks normal on the screenshot. At the same time it is corrupt on the screen. So some layer between the buffer from where screenshot is captured to displaying the image on the screen corrupts the cursor.
Corrupt cursor needs that AMD fglrx/Catalyst drivers are installed. I have now the latest 14.1 beta installed, but I had the same with previous beta. Reboot fixes the problem, until after a while it happens again. I have verified the problem with fresh installs of Kubuntu 13.10, Linuxmint 16 KDE and Linuxming 16 Cinnamon. Now system is running Linuxmint 16 Cinnamon.
