This is/was a common issue on AMD systems. I think the 5.14 OEM kernel here is missing this fix:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1344#note_932943 But if it's still happening in later kernels then it might be related to: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6470 ** Tags added: amdgpu cursor ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux-oem-5.14 (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Cursor used during log in after boot still on screen after log in on desktop + [amdgpu] Cursor used during log in after boot still on screen after log in on desktop ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues #1344 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1344 ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues #6470 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6470 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2011575 Title: [amdgpu] Cursor used during log in after boot still on screen after log in on desktop Status in linux-oem-5.14 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After booting up my laptop and logging in, the cursor that is used during the log in phase just freezes on the spot it last was after pressing the enter key to log in and stays there the whole usage time. It only disappears when I restart or shut down the laptop. It doesn't impair the usage of the desktop cursor, but stays on the screen, in front of every open window.
