What app(s) do you see this in? Do you have any scaling applied? I only noticed it in Yandex browser, falkon browser and discord (equibop). I didn't see the hand cursor being used in other applications. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > What app(s) do you see this in? Do you have any scaling applied? Also, no scaling. I notice all of those apps are Chromium-based. I can't reproduce it myself in Chromium 141.0.7390.65 (from Flathub), though, with current git master of KWin. This would suggest it's been fixed in a newer Chromium or KWin version. I'd ask you to re-open this if you find that the issue still happens with Plasma 6.5 and Chromium 141.0.7390.65 or later. Thanks a lot! (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > I notice all of those apps are Chromium-based.

Thanks a lot! No problem! I tried this in system settings too, and it happens there too (with the I-beam cursor) so the iissue isn't chromium. I'lll upgrade to Plasma 6.5 when I have time and say something if it still happens. Just upgraded to Plasma 6.5. Still happens again. Only on the Breeze mouse cursor theme.

Video of the Issue from a phone
Just noticed that the issue can't be recorded with screen recorders. Here is a video from my phone.
Thank you for the video, that's very helpful. Can you please attach it to this report directly? Videos hosted elsewhere can disappear. In the video, the mouse cursor is flickering between I-beam and pointer moving near some text in what looks like a notes vault. The cursor is in the main tab area. I *am* able to reproduce the bug on Plasma 6.5.3 and built from git-master Visit https://bugs.kde.org on Falkon and move the cursor quickly from left to right over the bug report links and the RSS icons For instance between "last 7 days" and the RSS icon to its right It switches between the I beam, hand and pointer incorrectly Sometimes, when the cursor is over the link or RSS icon it's correctly a hand, sometimes it's incorrectly a pointer After some playing around, this seems to be an issue with the *nvidia* and *nvidia-open* drivers, because I do not have these issues with nouveau. Should I close this bug now? Thanks for your troubleshooting. Issues with the NVIDIA drivers should be reported to them here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux |
