two cursors on dual screen setup

[Benedikt Kentsch]

My secondary monitor (in portrait mode) is left of the primary monitor. When I move the cursor into the top left corner of my primary, a second cursor will show up on my secondary screen. It has no function, its just there. The area is about 4cm x 10cm starting at the top left corner. The second cursor is rotated to the left. Doesn't happen if I move the secondary screen to the right of my primary. Disappears when I move the cursor onto second screen.

Just upgraded to fedora 27 and got the exact same problem in a dual setup where the left monitor is in portrait mode.

[Benedikt Kentsch (beneken)]

works fine now with the proprietary nvidia driver instead of nouveau

[Benedikt Kentsch (beneken)]

or xorg instead of wayland...

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Lars Pedersen (thacaleb)]

Works with xorgs for me. Guess this is a wayland issue
