broken cursor 1

When using the X server with different desktop environments eg. (XFCE, Gome3, Cinnamon ...) and enabled graphics acceleration for the mouse cursor (xorg.conf : option "HWCursor") is often the cursor broken. (see attachment)
It happens when the mouse cursor change quickly from the text cursor to the default cursor.

I have tested it with Catalyst 4.14 up to 7.14 RC also with drivers for desktop APU.
With a Separate graphic card AMD R9 290 there are no problems, only alone with the APU.


This error is reproducible
1. Use Linux with X server and any desktop environment
2. activate xorg.conf option "HWCursor" (with Cinnamon it will automatically hardware rendered)
3. open the Terminal, and move the cursor quickly from text field upwards away out of the window
4. it does not always directly (repeat often)

The problem also occurs often in text editors or IDEs.
For everyday work disturbs it.

I do not know if it's a driver or xserver problem.
