Description Dan 2024-10-15 20:59:52 UTC

I upgraded Plasma to 6.2.1 and I noticed the mouse cursor isn't updated when hovering through a link (the mouse pointer just stays the same and "jumps" over buttons and links, instead of changing from pointer to the hand finger cursor). So I did a bisect between 6.2.0 and 6.2.1 and the result is:

And this is happening just on Firefox and Chrome. I didn't notice it on KDE apps.

backends/drm: don't scale infiniteRegion()

It can lead to weird issues, like the resulting region being entirely in negative coordinates

Comment 11 postix 2024-10-18 13:05:15 UTC

As the bug title is only about the cursor, does 12e44324d55c5c0dc8f082248d07bc818f08993a also fix the weird flickering, which I have observed in the duplicate bug report?

Comment 12 postix 2024-10-18 13:07:40 UTC

Also, this report doesn't mention the night light, which was a requirement for me that the bug got triggered.

Comment 13 postix 2024-10-20 12:47:20 UTC

Thanks Xaver, 6.2.1.1 has fully fixed both the cursor and the glitches with night light for me. :)
