Description

The display is setup on a 3840x2160 resolution with 200% scaling Can't repro, I tried both flatpak and fedora package of ImHex. Only thing that happens is the mouse cursor changes it's look completely, but that seems to be the app taking over the cursor visuals. Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.16.10-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 Created attachment 185737 [details]
Grapgical glitch at cursor
I have an external display with 100% scaling, there I dont see an issue, but on the display with 200% scaling I can reproduce it 1 out of three times.
Recording the video with spectacle does not show the issue, therefore I attached a photo taken from the display

cursor-photo
*** Bug 511061 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can see this issue moving cursor between Qt5 applications (which sets cursor with different style and lowres). Just updated to 6.5.1, and the issue is still present. Agreed, the bug is still present in 6.5.1 I noticed cursor in 6.5.0, 6.5.1 is less smooth when it's changing shape or some small animations are running on the screen. I can see it while moving cursor in web browser or in QtCreator where some widgets has hover animation. The overall cursor latency is still good.
