SUMMARY
In all the applications i use (Gimp, Audacity, Chromium, Steam, etc) the cursor will change to an "X" when opening certain menus, for example, right-clicking on a tool in GIMP, or opening the options menu in Chromium.

I also noticed the bug also happens when moving the mouse to an edge trigger on the desktop with no apps open.

I made a post on Reddit with more information on the bug https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1cusz8k/mouse_cursor_changes_to_an_x_whenever_i_open_a/

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Gimp, Audacity, Chromium, Steam or any other app with the bug
2. Open a menu of any kind (right-click menu, options menu, drop-down menu)
3. The cursor will change to an "X"

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cursor changing from default to an "X" icon

EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse cursor does not change

Also on Fedora KDE 40, I can't reproduce this issue in any of those apps.

Does the issue reproduce for you in a new clean user account?
