I've been running 20.10 since November 2020 and the pointer scribbling just started up during the last week after an update or new software installation. I'm not sure what might have caused it to start.

I can confirm that disabling Zoom in system settings/accessibility does make it go away.

For those that require Zoom, see the previous message (#16) from Christopher Patti:

Add:

```
CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
```

to /etc/environment and reboot! For me anyway on Pop! OS 20.10, no more zoomed mouse cursor trails!

This also works and allows Zoom to be on.
