Disappearing mouse pointer
I use the default GNOME desktop, using Wayland with Intel graphics. I
have a web browser, a terminal, and an editor running on desktop 1.
On desktop 2 (i.e., where Ctrl-Alt-Down takes you) I have virt-manager
running, with open windows for whichever VMs are currently in use.
Yesterday, I updated my Fedora 30 machine. See the list of updated
packages below. After rebooting into the new kernel, I interacted
with a CentOS 7 VM for maybe 10 minutes. When I moved the mouse
pointer out of the VM window on desktop 2, the pointer vanished. That
is, the mouse pointer is now invisible on desktop 2, except when it is
inside the VM window. If I switch back to desktop 1, the mouse
pointer is visible, unless I move it onto the menu bar at the top of
the screen, where it also vanishes.
Logging out and then back in restored the mouse pointer, but after
working with the VM for just a few minutes, the mouse pointer
disappeared again, exactly as before. Opening system settings brought
the mouse pointer back, for some reason.
I would like to file a bug on this, if it is not already a known bug.
Could this be due to the libinput update? Before the following
updates were installed, I never saw this happen. Now it seems to be
repeatable:
