mouse pointer converted into half thumbnail

[Fabio Marconi]

Hallo
TESTCASE:
open an image with image viewer or gimp, left click to drag, release and the bug appear
Actually I cannot find a way to make it return to the original state except restart.
Interesting to note that if I record with the screencaster the bug is not showed in the movie even if it was existing during the record.
See attached movies.
Best regards

video recorded with camera

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

same as before made with screencaster kazam

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Rômulo (tlromulo-o)]

I have the exactly same problem with Xubuntu (64) and Lubuntu (32).

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

@ Rômulo
Are you having this problems with intel based graphic cards ?
Best regards

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

@ Marco Trevisan
have you already figured out what can it be ?
as per comment at #5 seems something lower..xserver mesa?
Best regards

Visual example of glitch is attached to my post. It happens every time when I open Image Viewer for the fist time in each working session, e.g. I need just to log out/in to reproduce this bug.

[bapoumba (bapoumba)]

Same here, lubuntu 14.10.
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Happens mostly click and dragging images by accident on web pages (Firefox).

[Leon R. Wood (leon-r-wood)]

I go around this problem by installing another image viewer.

You guys could try.
