Video of issue

SUMMARY
When using a KDE Wayland session in a virtual machine (tried latest versions of VirtualBox and VMware workstation player), the cursor behaves oddly. The cursor icon is often wrong, and if you hover over a textbox, it shows the normal cursor pointer symbol. Pull it away, and it shows the "type here" symbol. It is also often difficult to click where you want, and the cursor will teleport a bit away from where you click.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run a Plasma wayland session in a VM
2. move the cursor around

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor uses the wrong icon and glitches around.

EXPECTED RESULT
Normal icon changing and normal cursor behavior in general.
