the mouse pointer in unity8 is huge compared to unity7

https://code.launchpad.net/~dandrader/unity8/cursorGridUnit/+merge/300130 should fix it

unity-mir is a dead project, by the way.

I don't think we need Ubuntu UX feedback on that. It's just a matter of matching whatever unity 7 for for now, I believe.

thanks @dandrader :D

In progress actually.

Although Unity7 recently got "fixed" so it does have a larger cursor that scales with everything else. So I'm not sure if that makes this bug Invalid, Won't Fix, or just a matter of fine tuning.

This bug was fixed in the package unity8 - 8.14+16.10.20160811.1-0ubuntu1
