Bug Description

(I update the Bios but the bug persist.
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A09

These posts describe my problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1393169
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1396361
But in my case, only when using multiple monitors it happens. I use one monitor rotated and one not. Like: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81886

The only way I've found to remove the extra mouse cursor is to drag an image in Chrome (?). It doesn't work with an image in Firefox nor in another program.
Anyway, the extra mouse coursor appears again at any time, so I have no solution for this.
