[Bug 1684240] [NEW] Mouse pointer behaves strangely

[Jacob Greenstein]

Public bug reported:

(This can also be an nvidia related problem)

Mouse pointer behaves as if it has an invisible square attached to it.
This square covers some area next to the pointer, but it is not always
clear exactly where (a link to a screenshot is shown below, please note
the white square with some text from the previous webpage displayed in
that window).

This makes selecting text difficult, as one never knows where exactly
the selection ends. Also, scrolling in some windows becomes problematic,
as the pointer shadows a part of the scrollbar. When a text is being
typed, one needs to make sure that the pointer is parked sufficiently
far from the text (so, to make a long story short, this is very
annoying).

This behavior does not depend on the choice of the cursor theme.
