Description Andrei 2017-10-22 16:52:39 UTC

Kubuntu 17.10, kwin 5.10.5

Sometimes cursor disappears, until it is forced to change (e.g. I move mouse into a text field). It could happen anywhere: in Geary, in Dash menu, even when just right-clicking on the desktop. It does not happen often, but certain actions almost always trigger it (like right-clicking on the desktop: every 2 or 3 clicks and cursor becomes invisible). Probably not much info, would be happy to provide more.

Are you using Wayland or X11?

X11. xserver-xorg 7.7, xserver-xorg-core 1.19.5

Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2017-10-22 18:47:01 UTC

I'm sorry but on X11 KWin is not involved in the rendering of the cursor.

Oh, sorry for posting to the wrong product section. What product/component is rendering the cursor on X11?
