Description Contijn Buijs 2021-10-13 10:01:16 UTC

SUMMARY
I have a cursor theme that doesn't have a option to set how big I want it. The cursor has basically one size and the size selection option in System Settings is greyed out.

I noticed that with cursor themes like this, there appears a smaller cursor when hovering on the titlebar of windows. This happens on Qt and GTK apps.

On X11 this issue doesn't happen. Only happens on Wayland.

You can easily test this with this theme: https://www.pling.com/p/999670

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install this cursor theme: https://www.pling.com/p/999670
2. Run a Wayland session and have this theme set.
3. Move mouse to the titlebar of a window and see a smaller version appear.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Not quite a duplicate of Bug 459161; rather a sub-task of it given that it's an umbrella bug.

One more +1, happens with OpenZone theme too:
- https://github.com/ducakar/openzone-cursors
- https://www.opendesktop.org/p/999999/

I don't have any display scaling enabled (1440p native at 100%), did not force font DPI either. The cursor gets downscaled a little when hovering over any window chrome or the KWin debug console.
