SUMMARY

Whenever my mouse is on the desktop or touching a qt window, my mouse pointer is set to some garbage cursor type and is stuck that way. At the moment it's set to the 'clickable link' pointer type, but other times it gets stuck on the highlighting one, or more exotic ones like the loading cursor. In Firefox or sublime-text this issue does not appear but it immediately reappears (back to whatever cursor it was stuck on before it entered the working window). Before the cursor decides to get stuck on anything however, it will be invisible. I can't find anything in the journal to tell me what's happening.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Move your mouse over a the desktop or a qt managed window.

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse pointer gets stuck on the wrong cursor type.

EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse pointer changes depending on context.

Does it happen without the eGPU?
