[ABANDONED] Cursor buggy on left screen side with intel graphics.

I have a workstation with an

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU  N3150  @ 1.60GHz

and a

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 21)

graphics card.
I use i915 as a driver

i915                 2166784  16
intel_gtt              24576  1 i915
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 i915
drm_kms_helper        208896  1 i915
drm                   499712  12 drm_kms_helper,i915

with early KMS in the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(i915)

When logged into a Gnome Wayland session the cursor works fine, except for some millimeters from the left screen border.
When I move the cursor beyond that invisible threshold, the cursor icon gets stuck at some random location around there, but the acual cursor keeps moving.
I.e. I can navigate up and down through Gnome's menu bar and the icon I currently hover over will be higlighted and can be clicked to start the respective program while the cursor symbol is stuck at another location possibly on another icon.
The only thing I found regarding this is an old thread on Ask Ubuntu and the provided solution with unity-tweak-tool is obviously not applicable to gnome.
The other answer with the xorg.conf file also has no effect, maybe because I'm using Wayland.
I made a screencast to show this issue. Any ideas on how to get rid of this?
Update: Updated screencast.
