I notice that at the beginning of the screen recording, no cursor theme is selected. Does the issue still happen if you make sure that before you install the local cursor theme, something is selected and applied?

The inline message also appears if a theme is selected before the provided steps.
I'm attaching another video.

Thanks. Cannot reproduce with those steps, doing exactly what you do in the video, with the provided cursor theme. :/
