predictable short mouse stuck
Hovering mouse over buttons that change the background color or changing of the cursor form (text, arrow, hand) during movement let the mouse cursor stuck for some milliseconds at the position. After the delay mouse is shown at the correct position.

For both issues it does not matter if I connect my mouse to the USB hub of displaylink or directly to the PC. The mouse cursor on the native screen is never affected. Mouse trails do not help.

Try moving the wireless receiver away from the USB3 port. Use an USB cable extension or usb hub to plug the receiver into, so that it can be positioned further away from the USB3 port. (I read somewhere that wireless receivers should not be near the USB3 port.) It improved my wireless mouse when I used a USB2 hub in my USB3 port.
