The mouse cursor theme kcm has a preview area for the selected cursor theme. Normally (for the Oxygen themes e.g.) the resize cursor shown there is the one with arrows from top-left to bottom-right ("size_fdiag"). For themes that don't provide the file "size_fdiag", the other one is shown (arrows from bottom-left to top-right, which would be "size_bdiag" in Oxygen). Presumably, this also causes the glitch that the wrong shape is shown as resize hint in the current session after applying such a theme (see bug#325763 for more details). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open systemsettings and enter the "Cursor Theme" module 2. Select a theme that doesn't provide "size_fdiag", examples include: crystalwhite (and variations like crystalblue), DMZ, Adwaita, redglass, whiteglass and handhelds Actual Results: Preview shows arrows from bottom-left to top-right for the resize cursor Expected Results: Preview should show arrows from top-left to bottom-right for the resize cursor, as is done with themes that do provide the file "size_fdiag" (Oxygen and KDE_classic f.e.) Apparently in XCursorTheme::findAlternative() (file kcontrol/input/xcursor/xcursortheme.cpp) the alternatives for "size_bdiag" and "size_fdiag" are swapped. I will create a review request to fix this shortly, but want to test it first.

Git commit 6a6d6dd2ae997068d452b6a3d43572bd6e16c652 by Wolfgang Bauer. Committed on 13/10/2013 at 15:59. Pushed by wbauer into branch 'master'. Cursor Theme KCM: Show correct resize cursor in preview for themes without a file called "size_fdiag" Apparently in XCursorTheme::findAlternative() (file kcontrol/input/xcursor/xcursortheme.cpp) the alternatives for "size_bdiag" and "size_fdiag" are swapped, so for themes not containing "size_fdiag" the wrong resize cursor is shown in the preview. This patch fixes that long standing bug. (there has been no change to that function since 2007!) This also fixes the glitch mentioned in bug#325763, that the wrong arrows are used for the window resize hint after the theme change is applied (for the current X session).
