Bug description
The mouse cursor is invisible when it's not above a modal window of an application running in full-screen mode.
Steps to reproduce
- open an image in Xviewer
- press F11 to go to full screen
- press
to delete the image
A confirmation window opens and the mouse pointer becomes invisible in any part of the screen outside of the modal window. When that modal window is small relative to the screen, it's quite hard to find the pointer.
Expected behavior
The mouse pointer should be clearly visible at all time.
