Description Peter 2025-10-24 13:17:12 UTC
SUMMARY

Mouse cursor appears as slightly wavy parallel lines - colors black, dark blue, light blue - roughly 1cm tall by 2cm wide.  May be specific to my graphics card.  I do not experience this on any other hardware running KDE Neon.  Also possible I have some sort of corrupted config file I don't know how to clear...

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Boot machine.  Cursor is NORMAL at cold boot login screen but persists after first login.
2.  Log in - have confirmed with a brand new user profile and problem still occurs.

OBSERVED RESULT

Cursor as described.  Don't know a way to give you a good screen shot that includes the cursor...

EXPECTED RESULT

Normal Breeze themed cursor

This does seem to be a bug that is specific to AMD Bart graphics processor.  I booted the machine from an external SSD with current version of Plasma 6.5 KDE Neon and the results are identical -- normal cursor before login.  Corrupted cursor upon login.  Appears the issue is NOT corruption within my local instance of KDE on the affected hardware.
