Mouse cursor visible on both screens in multiple monitor setup

[Thomas Krause]

When using two monitors (where the primary is on the right side and the secondary is attached to the left), I can see two mouse cursors when the cursor is near the left edge on the primary screen. Only the cursor on the primary screen can click things, but it is still very confusing.

Also, the second cursor is moving with inverted axis.
Since the screenshot only captures the primary mouse cursor, I took a photo of the situation.

Video of the two moving mouse cursors. The axis seems to be switched, which could be caused by my rotated secondary screen.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm the bug on Gnome 3.26, yet I'm an Antergos Arch linux user.

I work with three displays, numbered after display settings (see attachment):
1) Laptop monitor (right)
2) 27" display (left, rotated 90 counter-clockwise, primary display)
3) 27" display (center)

When I move my cursor around on the Left Side and upper half on display 3, the cursor is likewise duplicated (rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise) on the primary display.
