Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Ubuntu 11.04 (classic, not running Unity)
fldigi 3.21.9

The mouse pointer "flickers" when positioned within fldigi and then
goes away when I stop moving the mouse. I don't care for this. Is
this a user option that I need to set or something with Ubuntu 11.04?
I don't see this on XP and I don't remember it on 10.10.
Unfortunately, it's now not easy to boot up in 10.10 (even though I intalled
11.04 as a dual boot system) due to an apparent problem with the grub2 boot
loader with 11.04.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.

Thank you for your help and patience.
