Description Kanwar Plaha 2024-01-12 06:55:06 UTC

SUMMARY
After upgrade to 5.92.0, the mouse cursor shows neither on the laptop screen nor the external monitor.
I have tried changing the cursor theme too but did not help.
The session is plasma/wayland.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Plasma 5.92.0
2. After login from sddm, there is no mouse cursor
3. Widgets can still be clicked if you "know" where the cursor is

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse does not show although widgets/buttons can be clicked if you can tell that the mouse is over them.

EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse cursor shows as normal

I'm having the same issue on Arch, when using the Wayland session, with Plasma 6 RC1 from Arch's kde-unstable repo. It happens both when running on the integrated Intel video, and when running on the Nvidia GPU. It works fine under X11 on both graphics chips.

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.92.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.248.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Kernel Version: 6.7.0-zen1-1-zen (64-bit)
