Comment 0 for bug 1967219

I have a multi-screen setup with one of the displays being rotated (Portrait Right in Displays settings).

Since upgrading to Jammy the cursor gets 90° rotated after being moved from a landscape to the rotated screen.

This seems to be happening only in Overview or if cursor is hovered over the desktop. Hovering cursor over the application window (e.g. Terminal) would reset the rotation; however, after being moved back to the landscape screen, the cursor gets rotated again (but now in an opposite direction).

This doesn't happen on Xorg and it wasn't happening on impish (wayland).

Steps to reproduce:

1) Set up two screens, (1) being rotated and (2) in normal Landscape position.
2) Move cursor to (2), it should be in normal position.
3) Move cursor to (1).
Expected: the cursor is in normal position.
Actual: the cursor is rotated 90° CW.
4) Open the application, move it to (1), hover the cursor over it.
The cursor would go back to the normal position again.
5) Move the cursor to (2)
Expected: the cursor is in normal position.
Actual: the cursor is rotated 90° CCW. As in the previous case, hovering cursor over the application window fixes it's rotation.

Additional notes: sometimes the dead cursor copy stays near the screen edge after cursor is being moved to a different screen.
