Cursor change in full screen application causes recursive loop

[David Kirschner]

Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

What happens: When my mouse cursor changes in a full screen application (while hovering over something) (like the root prompt or the search bar in the application menu) it repeats the action over and over til I crash my computer. (This problem does not seem to occur when I play a video in full screen.)

Expected behavior: The cursor should change to the new one and stay like this until a new cursor change is required.

I've attached a video for better understanding of the problem.
(I can't record my screen when this happens because the file won't save, so I had to record it via my phone, sorry for that)

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 review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

I'm moving this to gnome-shell so that this issue is brought to the attention of the Desktop Team.

However, for me using Chrome and Firefox your .mp4 attachment doesn't illustrate the problem that you were or maybe are still seeing.
