Description Grzesiek11 2021-06-28 10:56:15 UTC

SUMMARY
The cursor theme changes from Breeze Light to Breeze Dark when in bounds of the Konsole window. This bug occures randomly.

Here's an example: https://grzesiek11.stary.pc.pl/files/vids/konsole_cursor.mp4

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set cursor theme to Breeze Light.
2. Open Konsole.
3. Do something to make the bug occur (usually minimising Konsole for a long time does it for me).
4. Move the mouse cursor inside the Konsole window.
5. Move the mouse cursor outside the Konsole window.

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor theme changes to Breeze Dark while in the Konsole window.

EXPECTED RESULT
The cursor theme stays the same (Breeze Light) no matter what I do.

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-07-29 17:33:55 UTC

Only in Konsole, eh? I wonder if this caused by Konsole's use by CSS stylesheets, which don't update in real-time in response to theme changes (only when the app is restarted). Does it work if you quit and restart Konsole? If so, that would seem to support my theory.

Comment 2 Grzesiek11 2021-07-29 18:44:28 UTC

Yes, if I restart Konsole it fixes itself. But it still can occur in the new window at random. I'm not changing the theme though. It just happens.

Also, I *think* it happened in Dolphin once since I reported this. I can't reproduce this one though, and I'm not even sure that it happened...

Comment 3 Grzesiek11 2021-07-30 11:21:53 UTC

Bumping up the version, just reproduced this on 21.04.3.

Comment 4 Christoph Cullmann 2025-08-24 19:13:14 UTC

I can not reproduce that, can you re-try with a 25.xx version?

I am no longer able to reproduce this since at least the release corresponding to Plasma 5.27.
