Created attachment 7485 video of the problem I've set up a keyboard shortcut for resizing a window. If I use that shortcut and accept the new set windows size by pressing <ENTER> the mouse cursor is now always being reset to the default cursor. Instead it is still showing the resize cursor until I start moving my mouse again.
Can you provide “xfwm4 --version” please, the version of Xorg and the driver (DDX) used?
xfwm4 version 4.12.4 (revision 7844952) X.Org X Server 1.19.5 Kernel driver in use: vboxvideo
Something is weird here, first the pointer doesn't move which is unexpected, it is supposed to move along with the resizing operation. Next, the window manager doesn't “draw” the pointer, the DDX does, all the WM does here is to set up a grab with a specific cursor and remove that grab when the operation is completed. I would recommend to try to reproduce on real hardware (ie not in Virtual box) to rule out an issue with the vbox driver.

Ok, I can retry this in about 8 hours
Just tested it on a physical machine. No problem here. It seems to be a problem related to virtualbox and xfce.

So it's just the problem of virtualbox? Sorry, i'm just a "normal" user.
