Bug Description

I have Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Window interface is Wayland. Used two different graphics touchpads - Wacom and XP-Pen. After another reboot I found stylus pointer invisible everywhere but desktop and terminal. But I need to draw in firefox, gimp, inkscape, etc.

Here is detailed description of what I did before found this bug:
1. First of all my device (wacom) worked good. Pointer was visible when stylus was used. And it was shared with mouse. I could move pointer with mouse somewhere and continue to move it with stylus.
2. I've installed chrome-remote-desktop to check if it would be convenient to use android graphics phone with stylus to draw. (it was not) Then after reboot I found that I can't log in to X locally anymore because some conflict between gnome and chrome-remote-desktop. (I used https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless/ setup).
3. I've purged chrome-remote-desktop, reboot, logged in and found this bug. Pointer of mouse became independent and stylus pointer isn't visible anymore in programs (firefox for example) but visible on desktop as separate cursor or cross.
4. Now I use XP-Pen Deco 03 graphics touchpad, but pointer is splited anyway.
