I have found that since I upgraded from the previous version to 17.0.5-1 and now to 17.1.0-1 that some times when my cursor goes over the top bar or is in the Activities Overview that it has a strange pixelated line following it. I can't seem to take a screenshot of it since the GNOME screenshot utility doesn't capture the cursor nor this strange long pixelated line which is thin but not completely solid and made of many seemingly random colours. I have GNOME version 3.24.2.

I don't know that this was the case before, but just now it happened because one of my VMs was using 100% of my RAM and my Swap space started filling up. The strange line disappeared after I clicked the Firefox icon from the dock and it launched. The strange line didn't appear on the desktop though, nor in any other application, just the top-bar, AO, and the dock which I have not just in the AO due to the Dash To Dock GNOME extension.
This task depends upon

It seems that they don't have to always follow the cursor around, but in my case their normally do, I have attached an example of when they are just on one part of the screen. The weird pixelation is just on top of the "Processes" tab button in the System Monitor.
