Description frederic.parrenin@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr 2022-09-15 09:54:41 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Use the Wayland session on KDE, with a 4k screen with 200% scaling
(this is with the breeze theme)

OBSERVED RESULT
The pointer size is correct for some apps (firefox/wayland, thunderbird/wayland, chrome/wayland, zoom), but it is twice too big on some other apps (PlasmaShell, KDE apps, master-pdf, LibreOffice/kf5).
Strange also that in some other apps, the pointer seems too big, but only by ~50% (TeamViewer, OnlyOffice).

EXPECTED RESULT
The pointer size should be the same everywhere.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Bookworm

Looks fine on my machine, what cursor size do you have?
Comment 2 frederic.parrenin@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr 2022-09-15 13:04:16 UTC 
36 px.

Comment 4 Vlad Zahorodnii 2022-09-15 13:41:44 UTC 
As a workaround, use 24px cursor size.

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