Description
At some random moment mouse cursor turns into vertical dashed line (see attached screenshot) and stays in this state for some unpredicted time, then at some random moment (probably on some specific action or event) might turn back to normal state.
I have opensuse 11.4 m5, ATI r600 with opensource driver, xorg 7.6 from opensuse repo and KDE4.6 beta2, but I have been hit by exactly same issue about 3-4 years ago on the same machine but with opensuse 10.3 with ancient fgrlx driver with KDE3.
Also if I check "include mouse pointer" in ksnapshot, the screenshot would show correct mouse pointer. Also if I change mouse cursor theme in kde system settings nothing changes - dashed line just changes its color while changing themes.
P.S. While I was writting this report, the cursor was corrupted, when clicked "attach file" and was navigating to the photo with kde open file dialog, the cursor changed itself to the normal state.
