Description Martin Bednar 2024-05-20 19:58:42 UTC

Casted cursor moves even when shared window not in focus.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  2 displays (might not be relevant, but makes seeing it easier)
2. Share one window only using firefox (tested to https://onlinescreenshare.com/ )
3. place another window over shared window

OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor in casted video moves over shared window, although in reality (ie locally) focus is on another window.


EXPECTED RESULT
No cursor movement if shared window not in focus


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo 2.15/kernel 6.6.30
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

Comment 1 Martin Bednar 2024-05-20 20:00:43 UTC

Update: this happens even when the window is minimized: the casted cursor moves when moved over the last known window position.

Seems the cursor is always visible for me, no matter what im sharing, as long as the window is in same area the mouse cursor is.

If I fullscreen the shared window and minimize it the cursor is shared from the whole screen.
