Created attachment 103923 [details] This is a panel of three pictures. The left one illustrates the small cursor on title bar, middle on the main window cursor size, the last illustrate where I can select cursor size When the cursor is hovering on the kwin managed title bar, the cursor changes its size to 24. But when the cursor is on the rest of the screen, it is of size 48. The problem can be resolved by selecting a fixed size cursor, that is 48, instead of resolution dependent cursor.Although this workaround works for me, I suspect kwin is not being dpi aware and is merely scaling the window title bar which makes the cursor thinks it is on a lower resolution? I have attached three screenshots.By the way, I forced my font dpi to 182 in the System-settings-> font

Yes I am running HiDPi. The log is here: https://paste.kde.org/pli925sfw
Sorry my last reply was a bit messy. Not sure if that comment can be deleted. I apologize.
The issue seem to go away when I edit the SDDM config file, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM#DPI_settings The mouse cursor default to 24 instead of 48 when HiDPI setting is edited in the config file instead of force font dpi in system setting. This is still not as expected because I have a HiDPI screen and one would expect to get a default size of 48. Anyway, just something to sort out.
@David: as our High-DPI expert: any ideas?
I have the same issue. In System Settings, I have "Resolution dependent" selected for the cursor size, but KWin doesn't use it. In fact, it doesn't use it even if I specify a size manually. If I select "32", KWin still uses 24. I'm using a 27" 2560x1440 monitor. X11 reports: $ xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution screen #0: dimensions: 2560x1440 pixels (602x341 millimeters) resolution: 108x107 dots per inch This is the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation": https://paste.kde.org/p1o81y41e
I had the same issue on Arch Linux KDE 5.10.4 I think the issue is that KDE config doesnt overwrite X config when setting the cursor theme a workaround is to manually create ~/.icons/default/index.theme and set the cursor theme like in KDE [icon theme] Inherits=breeze_cursors i use HiDPI setup and use Scaling value 2 in KDE which set the KDE DPI to 192, X must have the same DPI so that the cursor size 48 is selected

Is this a duplicate of bug #372451 ?
(In reply to Eric Donkersloot from comment #12) > Is this a duplicate of bug #372451 ? no it would be the other way around. The bug is in kwin and not in systemsettings as that bug indicates.
I tried both workarounds listed in this bug report: 1. Setting the cursor size to a fixed value (36) 2. Create ~/.icons/default/index.theme and set the cursor theme like in KDE But they both have no effect. I've posted the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" again here: https://paste.kde.org/pjoxuk9ej/w7hv2v

Same issue for me. Here is my log for qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation : https://paste.kde.org/pcywygpcm Is it a missing Wayland implementation in kwin issue or a pure Waland problem ?

Still the same on KDE Plasma 5.12 :(

The mouse cursor normally worked fine on my laptop with a 4K screen. But I got the similar issue when I changed the theme. After that, the cursor size will be smaller when hovered on the title bar. I found that if I delete all the theme related files in ~/.cache fold (likely these named with plasma-theme-***, maybe also the icon-cache.kcache file), then the cursor will act normally. I'm not sure if this is the solution for the other issues reported in this post.
I got this issue again, and solved it by deleting the ./cache/icon-cache.kcache file.
