Mouse pointer disappears after VM resume

When I resume my Linux VM, the mouse cursor is never visible when moved into the VM window.

The mouse appears to be working correctly, as I can see icons / menus become "highlighted" when I move the mouse around.

And mouse clicks also work as expected.

It's just that the cursor itself is invisible !!

This issue is never present when starting the VM from scratch.
It *only* happens when starting from a suspend.

Host : Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (64bit)
Guest : Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (64bit)

Both host and guest are fully up-to-date.

Log file when in "broken" state

FYI, on the VM, if I log out and back in again (with out restarting the VM), the issue fixes itself.

Still broken in Version 5.1.14 r112924 :(

And the "log out, log in" no longer seems to fix the problem.
