Cannot reproduce the issue in LibreOffice or Firefox on Plasma 6 Wayland. I suspect an Nvidia driver issue. Or possibly a GTK issue? Can you put KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 in /etc/environment, reboot the computer, and check if the flickering is still present?

No flickering present when KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 is placed in /etc/environment. Then it sounds like a driver issue, and perhaps this issue should be reported to nvidia. Can you report this issue to NVIDIA please? |
