Public bug reported: Using newest Quantal the mouse cursor started behaving strangely. When I move the mouse, the cursor jumps back and forth between two locations, which can up to a centimeter apart. Both cursor locations move according to mouse motion.
If I push the cursors to the top left corner, they overlap. However in use they start to slowly drift apart again. This is not a rendering bug. The cursor actually moves. This can be verified like this: Suppose the two mouse locations are A and B and there are application two buttons called 1 and 2. These buttons are separate, they have some space (or another widget) between them. Then one moves the cursor so location A is over button 1 and location B is over button 2. Moving the mouse even a tiny distance makes the cursor jump between these two locations randomly. When location A is active, pressing the mouse button activates button 1. Correspondingly location B activates button 2.
