Description of problem: 
After rapid change from text to default looks the cursor broken

or look this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvbQFzOdGLQ&feature=youtu.be

the same problem also appears in text editors e.g Gedit, Mousepad and Java IDEs like Netbeans and PHPStorm to, it only occurs with the Proprietary Display Driver (any version from 13.12 up to 14.6 Beta), with the xorg ati drivers it works.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the terminal
2. drag the pointer quickly from the text field out of the window frame
3. repeat this, it does not always work directly.

Actual result:
A broken cursor (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/yGvJKvt6M5lEBJKC0qgPsb9eGQ9pRrydus7DXPMlBzIBFKdg9Ijbg-VxGElEzafp2zhYR_ESsE0=w1896-h859)

Expected result:
A normal default cursor

still a supplement,

i have in the xorg.conf add the Option "HWCursor" and tested it in more desktop enviroments. (Cinnamon, XFCE, Unity) with all the same effect, it must be a driver or X11 bug.

I could test it only with the integrated graphics from the Kaveri APU.
