Description Tech-Tac 2025-06-18 16:14:44 UTC

SUMMARY
When setting the mouse pointer to scale in the Zoom effect configuration, starting the effect by zooming in sets the cursor image to that the last time the effect was active, instead of the current cursor set by the app until the cursor is set again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hover mouse over a text box
2. Zoom in
3. Zoom out to exit effect
4. Move the mouse outside the text box
5. Zoom in again

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor is still a text cursor, which doesn't update until the cursor changes again while zoomed in

EXPECTED RESULT
The effect should correctly reflect the current cursor when the zoom started.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Cannot reproduce in Plasma 6.4. Can you re-test once you've updated to that version?

Comment 2 Tech-Tac 2025-06-20 14:42:18 UTC

This occurs in 6.4.0

Comment 3 Tech-Tac 2025-07-03 18:06:09 UTC

This seems to affect only the cursor texture, the hotspot and cursor size are still those of the expected current cursor

Comment 5 Tech-Tac 2025-07-03 21:34:22 UTC

I'm pretty sure that's a different bug, mine has nothing to do with XWayland and the cursor does update while zoomed in, but not when initially starting the zoom

Oh, so only the first cursor is wrong. Nvm then, and can confirm.
