compiz cube rotate mouse pointer lost

[scrollo]

Binary package hint: compiz

Occasionally when rotating the cube the display will freeze momentarily mid-rotation. When things kick back in, my mouse pointer has vanished. Nothing can be clicked and most keyboard shortcuts don't work either, but strangely I can still rotate the cube if I 'aim' the non-visible mouse pointer at an empty area of the desktop. Possibly related to this is I get the same sort of system stutter when updating any settings in the compiz settings manager, sometimes with the same loss of pointer.

Difficult to track what's happening as a reset is the only way to get interactivity back. Console hotkeys (CTRL-ALT-F1) still work, but switching to a terminal results in graphic corruption. Switching back (CTRL-ALT-F7) after this makes the mouse pointer re-appear, but it is still non-interactive.
