Ubuntu 17.04 - Everything works great except there is a weird square behind the mouse
Hi all,
Took me a bit to get everything working but I have a new HP Pavilion 17t laptop that I was able to install Ubuntu 17.04 on and am using a plugable USB 3.0 docking station so that I can have dual monitors in addition to the laptop screen. Everything is working great except one really annoying thing. For some weird reason, whenever I select text or am typing text under the mouse cursor, there is a square, probably about 100px by 100px behind the mouse that completely covers the text where the mouse is. Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing. https://goo.gl/photos/8zJgSnEbFhRxPaWQ8 You will see my cursor is over the text with the square behind it. As I'm a developer, I use text editors 90% of the time I'm on the computer. Selecting text has become a major PITA because I often don't know if I selected the right text until I move my mouse off what I just selected. I feel like I'm soooo close. Have updated my drivers to the nvidia latest. Have updated my DL drivers to the lastest too. Thoughts? Thx in advance! William PS. Am attaching my support zip that contains logs and any information you might need. |

This is interesting. Is the same visible if you make an actual print screen, and not the photo? Is it just this cursor shape that is affected? Do you see the same in any application?
Thanks. Michal |

Hi Michal,
So that's the weird thing... screen cap programs do NOT show it... hence the reason I had to take a photo. But yes... beyond that... all programs are impacted. Everything from Chrome, to my Sublime text editor, and even Ubuntu desktop windows. It's everywhere. w |

OK, I see that's with nvidia driver. Is it the same if nouveau is used?
Cheers, Michal |

I have the exact same problem.
With the nvidia-375 driver from the official repositories there is a square around my mouse cursor, which keeps the prior background on moving or after switching/scrolling/etc. I'll continue testing with latest binary driver from nvidia (384.59) and report back. |
