Mouse cursor stucks showing the loading roundel after startup

[Dario Bertero]

After startup, sometimes the mouse cursor keeps displaying the loading roundel forever. This happens only when the cursor is hovering over Unity, a Unity program or a GNOME program. When over a KDE program or Firefox it shows the normal cursor, to change again when positioned in another place.

The bug does not happen always. In any case, beyond this, the system works correctly.

Hallo
Is this affecting you again with the latest upgrades ?
Best regards

It has been a while I am not experiencing the bug anymore. It still usually takes quite a while for the cursor to switch from the roundel to the normal arrow.
I will comment again in case I see the bug again.
