Public bug reported: I have enabled the zoom accessibility feature in GNOME Settings in Ubuntu 18.04.2, but the mouse cursor will be missing every time the mouse cursor changes to the spinning one (e.g. when the application is doing some tasks in the background or when the application is not responding). Mouse cursor will be visible again when the cursor changes back to the normal mouse pointer. This happens in both Ubuntu (Ambiance- themed) session and the communitheme session. With regard to the display server, It happens in X.Org, but in Wayland, the spinning cursor is visible but is not spinning. (It stays still)
Please note that this bug is not related to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1767648 and the proposed update for that bug as this newly-reported bug happens both before and after I install the update. Another observation is that the bug may be specific to Ubuntu as I previously installed Arch Linux and didn't notice this issue. Steps to reproduce. 1. Go to Settings > Universal Access > Zoom and enable it. 2. Do something that would normally change mouse cursor to the spinning one. (e.g. open Synaptic Package Manager) 3. When the package list is loading, instead of seeing a spinning cursor, the mouse cursor becomes invisible.
