Just wanted to share with you guys some weird bug happening.
Would be nice if anyone could confirm/disconfirm if it's happening on their machine.

Happens only when you turn off "Automatic graphic switching".
Hover on any link in any browser (chrome/safari) or other app that have pointer cursor.
You will see weird shaking when cursor switching from default (arrow) to pointer.

If I record my screen with MacBook recording app it doesn't show the behaviour.
So I'm attaching video recorded from phone.

- Shaking (when automatic graphic switching off):



















- Not shaking (when automatic graphic switching on):
 
I posted about this same issue here:

It appears to be a flaw with the 16” MBP’s GPU.

I get it whenever the GPU is on: connected to an external monitor or when Automatic graphic switching is disabled.

I have this issue as well! I have been in touch with Apple's customer service and they say it is expected behaviour... What a joke!
Someone found a workaround here:

Are only so few people having this issue? It is driving me nuts while using the machine on the dGPU...
 
Are there any updates on this? I have the same issue on my MacBook pro 2016 13inch w touch bar, which doesn't have a discrete GPU. This bug appears only when I'm using an external display and it's REALLY driving me nuts!!
