The same code is present in jdk8u and jdk9. So I believe the problem is reproducible there, as well.

It was technically proved (via FVB) that proposed fix resolved the problem for jdk7u

Problem description: Sometimes XQueryBestCursor may return zero-dimension to the code inside XCustomCursor.getBestCursorSize(). As a result the subsequent invocation of CustomCursor constructor will fail wit IllegalArgumentException during scaling of the image. Suggested fix: It is necessary to avoid scaling if getBestCursorSize() returns zero-dimension.
