Description Wren Turkal 2020-08-26 20:11:52 UTC

SUMMARY
No matter what my cursor display settings are, it often disappears when using a tablet.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in Wacom Graphire.
2. Open Krita.
3. Use tablet to draw a few rectangles and circles.
4. *poof*, cursor gone

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor for the tablet disappears. As a comparison, this doesn't seem to happen with Inkscape.

EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor doesn't disappear.

Hi, Wren!

There is a bug in Qt that causes problems with cursor. In our AppImages we patch Qt to fix this issue, it looks like Ubuntu didn't pull those patches.

Please try AppImage packages from our official site:
https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/

They should not have this problem :) 

PS:
If you still have the problem with an AppImage please reopen the bug :)
