Adding this story so maybe it will be easier for others to find. When I upgraded to Ubuntu Artful Aardvark 17.10 the screen booted up in zoom mode and it scrolled whenever I moved the mouse. I figured out how to get the zoom to normal size, but the mouse cursor disappeared or was invisible. If I pressed any key (e.g. SHIFT), the cursor would flash and I could repeatedly press the key to navigate. I didn't realize the Universal Access Zoom was still on because the zoom was 1:1. Turning the zoom feature off entirely made the mouse appear as normal.
Perhaps the Universal Access Zoom should be off by default on updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691676 Title: Mouse cursor (pointer) is missing during desktop zoom in gnome-shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1691676/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
