Mouse Cursor corruption

Cavallino · 4 Dec 2013 at 00:42

I am getting a similar corrupted mouse cusor like in this video.

Anyone seen the same?

Apparently you can reproduce this by moving your mouse close to the corner of the monitor, dragging to the bottom, flicking across to the next screen and bringing the mouse back into view on the next screen.

But its very annoying that it seems to happen randomly. Has anyone come across any fixes for this (or indeed come across this issue themselves)?

Thanks very much.

Ok good to hear Im not the only one, thanks for confirming folks.

Would be nice to know what GFX cards you guys got? It seems to be associated with AMD cards as opposed to Nvidia.

Also one way of getting rid of it is apparently maximising a window and moving your cursor to the top right corner (where the X close button is), hover over it, and then move the mouse again, this brings back the cusor back to normal.

Thanks all.
Glad to see Im not the only one. You wouldve thought AMD wouldve addressed this.

I used to get this all the time with various AMD cards, I always though it was tied to multiple monitors, I don't seem to get it now that I use a single monitor.

I believe you are right there. Since I too came from single monitor to dual to triple.
On the single/dual setup it was my old rig.
On the triple, its the new rig.

The dual and triple setups both exhibited the same phenomenon despite two different rigs.
