[Bug 1878889] [NEW] System crash after changing cursor size

[Sebastian Hasch]

Public bug reported:

So in a nutshell I was browsing through the settings app and found the
Cursor Size under the universal access tab. I was curious so i changed
it from default to the largest option available and my whole system
froze. After waiting for some time, the screen turned black and I had to
force a restart by holding the power button. I could restart but after
logging in the whole system crashed again (I suspect while loading the
cursor but I dont know). I had to delete the partitions on which I
installed Ubuntu and reinstall it from USB. Aftewards everything went
back to normal. Hope you can work this out :). --Sebastian
