Description Nick Stefanov 2019-10-29 18:31:42 UTC

SUMMARY
Launch feedback icon doesn't work at all after upgrade to Plasma 5.17. If I create a new user profile it works but doesn't work in my current profile. Enable/Disable it via System Settings UI doesn't work. Editing ~/.config/klaunchrc doesn't help no matter the settings. Here's my settings:

I tried different cursor themes including the default one (Breeze) to no avail. Feedback in panel works though.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file/start an application.
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
There's no launch feedback icon. The cursor doesn't change at all.

EXPECTED RESULT
To see some feedback from the cursor like bouncing icon which I use since KDE4.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Same here, no cursor launch feedback icon.

Comment 2 iton88 2019-10-29 20:10:02 UTC

I can confirm bug too.
My system is also Arch x64 .

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-10-29 21:15:59 UTC

Does it return if you change the cursor size from "Resolution Independent" to some hardcoded size?

Comment 4 Nick Stefanov 2019-10-29 21:52:54 UTC

Yes, thank you!!! It didn't even crossed my mind :)

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2019-10-29 21:55:51 UTC

Yet another reason to just delete this setting: Bug 407749.

Comment 6 Nick Stefanov 2019-10-29 22:10:25 UTC

it's obviously problematic indeed :)

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2019-10-30 00:34:16 UTC

Kai, could this have regressed due to your change recently? Can we just get rid of the "Resolution Independent" cursor size setting?

Comment 8 iton88 2019-10-30 03:53:54 UTC
