Mouse cursor malfunctions

Mouse pointer not changing to appropriate cursor in certain apps such as safari, chrome. For e.g., if I move the mouse pointer over a tab, it does not change from text editing cursor to normal mouse pointer. And I find similar mouse pointer malfunctioning in other apps too, like while resizing a window i.e. mouse pointer changes to a double arrow pointer while resizing and gets stuck with that pointer when I am done with resizing. I had to move the pointer randomly to bring back the normal mouse pointer else I had to click in a random area on screen. Please refer the uploaded image.

I have tried the following trouble shooting methods:

1. P RAM reset

2. SMC reset

3. Test User

4. Safe Mode

5. Hardware diagnostics (test passed)

6. Erase and reinstall the OS X (using Disk Utility)

The above trouble shooting methods did not resolve the issue.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
