Description kingofgamesyami 2022-11-16 04:30:17 UTC
SUMMARY
When moving the mouse quickly from left monitor to right monitor, there is a duplicate left behind.
* The duplicate will not appear if you move the cursor slow enough
* The duplicate is much less likely to appear if you have some window, e.g. System Settings, covering the screen
* If the duplicate is positioned such that some portion would be rendered on both screens, only the screen without the active cursor renders it's portion of the cursor
* The duplicate will immediately disappear if the cursor is moved to the screen it is on

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 2 identical monitors located left/right
2. Move mouse quickly from left monitor to right monitor (or vice versa) with no windows open*

*note: it can still happen with windows open, but much less frequently

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a duplicated cursor

EXPECTED RESULT
No duplicated cursor
