Mouse doesn't respond before/until launching a terminal
Hello everyone! I have an issue with my mouse on bspwm v0.9.9 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. It doesn't respond before/until pressing super + Return and launching my terminal.
This is my bspwrc configuration:
#! /bin/sh
bspc monitor DisplayPort-3 -d I
bspc monitor HDMI-A-1 -d II III IV V VI
pgrep -x sxhkd > /dev/null || sxhkd &
~/.config/polybar/shades/launch.sh &
pgrep -x compton > /dev/null || compton &
pgrep -x dunst > /dev/null || dunst &
feh --bg-fill /home/user/Images/photo.jpg
bspc config border_width 2
bspc config focused_border_color "#ffffff"
bspc config window_gap 7
bspc config -m HDMI-A-1 top_padding 27
bspc config -m HDMI-A-1 bottom_padding 2
bspc config split_ratio 0.52
bspc config borderless_monocle true
bspc config gapless_monocle true
bspc rule -a Firefox desktop='^3' follow=on
I had this problem before adding compton and dunst so I don't know what to do to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks you!

Can you explain what you mean by "doesn't respond"? You launch bspwm, and then what do you do to see this behavior? Do you open a window and your mouse won't click on it or something? Or is your cursor just not appearing on your screen until you launch an application (e.g. terminal)? Or something else?
exactly what you said. When i open an application, for example arandr, i can't see or move the cursor around. However, when i launch the terminal, the cursor appears, and everything works perfectly as expected. it's not really a big deal of a bug, but it is a bit annoying. feel free to put this at low priority lol
In my case @jallbrit when I login into bspwm the cursor appears always in the same place (near to bottom right corner of my left screen) but I've noticed that It's probably only a render issue because if I move my mouse to the right screen, even if I don't see that transition, and then launch a terminal, the terminal and the cursor appears in the right screen. When I said cursor It's not the X cursor.
What about xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr & in bspwmrc?
In my case the cursor was invisible before launching apps, but the mouse seemed to otherwise work. I used the above command to have a consistent cursor shape and it also fixed this issue.
