I got my mouse cursor in my video as of builds done over the weekend, can you please confirm you can still reproduce this issue Patrick?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2023-09-07 11:02:59 UTC 
The bug persists.
Comment 3 Justin Zobel 2023-11-28 10:01:42 UTC 
I've just tried to replicate this bug again but can't. Patrick can you try with another user or another distro. This may be Neon specific.

There was a bug fix MR, but I didn't realize the "BUG: ######" was only in the MR description, so the bug didn't automatically close.
