After our users use Inkscape for a short time, the mouse cursor turns to a spinning ball.
* The cursor remains a spinning ball even outside inkscape and even after inkscape is closed
* This hasn't happened after using any other program (gimp, office, gedit, browsers, terminals, etc.)
* It happens without fail when we use Inkscape, but see "More info" below.
* If there is a pattern regarding when the cursor turns to the spinning ball, I have yet to figure it out. That is, it seems to happen at any time: while editing text, or adding a box, or adding a spiral, or moving something, etc.
The weird thing is that when I take a screenshot, the cursor looks normal in the screenshot. In order to make an image of the problem, I had to take a photograph of the screen. See images at the link below; I added descriptive comments. https://goo.gl/photos/bttn8JmHNQM871mo8
More info:
* I'm using LTSP.
** It always happens on the clients, but not on the server that I've seen yet
** Since it only happens with inkscape, I'm reporting to you before trying the LTSP folks
* OS info: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
** inkscape is up to date
