On Wayland, input is handled by the server (KWin) and the client (Firefox) directly; Plasma isn't involved. Moving to KWin for now. Can you triage this a bit? Does it happens on X11? Or in other apps? Or on other web pages? etc. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Finally, I got around to test a bit further. I cannot reproduce it on Bugzilla with X11, so setting Wayland keyword. Not sure whether it happens on other webpages, I think I mostly noticed it on Bugzilla. I can also reproduce on other webpages like Wikipedia. During further investigation, I made some interesting findings. I did not find a Wayland application with this problem (but I also don't know of one that has a text cursor apart from input fields). While testing with LibreOffice, I managed to reproduce the problem (but only when there was no cursor blinking). Also, I noticed that the problem doesn't happen in Firefox if I have systemsettings open focused with a blinking cursor in the text field. I assume that it doesn't have to be systemsettings. In LibreOffice when there was a blinking "cursor", I noticed that the mouse cursor changed from normal to text after moving from normal content over text content in the frequency of the "cursor" blinking in the text field (the same happens the other way around when moving the mouse from text over normal content). There is a delay for changing the mouse cursor that seems to "wait" for the "cursor" in the text field to blink. I thus assume that somehow the text field "cursor" blinking is interfering or limiting some function that checks for the mouse cursor position in order to change it matching the content. Still cannot reproduce, now with Plasma 5.21 and firefox 86. Can you still reproduce? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

I cannot reproduce anymore, so might have gotten fixed somewhere in the meantime. |
