Pointer Disappears When Cursor Type Changes

[dniMretsaM]

The mouse pointer disappears right where the pointer type changes (i.e. going from the regular cursor to the link selection cursor). This happens on Ubuntu 11.04, both Classic (GNOME 2) and Unity 2D, and Kubuntu 11.04. It did not happen on Ubuntu 10.10. This doesn't affect any functionality, but it is kind of annoying.

I have exactly the same problem.
2 machines (laptop and desktop - different graphic cards)
Using Classic no effects login.
It also happens anytime a tooltip appears.

dniMretsaM, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

This no longer happens. I couldn't tell you when or why it stopped, though. I apologize for not mentioning it on here when it did stop.
