SUMMARY Mouse pointer fails to change back or doesn't change at all in zoom mode (meta + +). It gets stuck in pointer, link, text select etc mode. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Zoom in 2. Do something to provoke pointer change (hover over text for example) 3. Check if it changes back, or if it changes at all OBSERVED RESULT Pointer gets stuck with incorrect icon. EXPECTED RESULT It should change icons depending if it's over text, link, SOFTWARE VERSIONS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I was only able to reproduce this problem with firefox and thunderbird.
Cannot reproduce, are you using some non standard system settings? Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.80 Qt Version: 5.11.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0
Please provide output of: qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation
Created attachment 115995 [details] qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation I don't think that there is anuthing unusual about my configs, I will try to reproduce it on clean user.
New user has same issues.
The missing information might be that you use Wayland.
I can't reproduce here under Wayland. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.12.1
I just tested again and can still reproduce. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.12.1 Kernel Version: 4.20.10-zen1-1-zen OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB Kudos to whoever implemented that copy button in kinfocenter.
Created attachment 118970 [details] demo Cursor was not captured when screen was zoomed out, that's just something to do with pipewire/obs/kwin. It's working as expected when zoomed out.
Forget my previous comment 6. I can confirm. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2
it's still reproducible on Arch Linux with Firefox 88.0.1 running on Xwayland and Plasma 5.22 beta. Cannot reproduce with Firefox running natively on Wayland.
I encounter this bug with all applications running under XWayland (Firefox with XWayland backend, Steam, and Discord). Some can be run with Wayland backends. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.5-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 580 Series
Still a thing. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 5.19.10-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR Nvidia 515.65.01
I've been experiencing this over the last couple of days as well. The current work-around is to enable KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 in ~/.config/environment.d/ . Operating System: Fedora 36 KDE KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 Qt Version: 5.15.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Kernel: 5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64 GPU: AMD RX 6800M GPU Driver: mesa 22.3.0-devel
Forgot to mention that this occurs running the desktop with Wayland but non-zoomed. Examples of this quirk occurs in Firefox (running in Wayland mode) and Steam (XWayland).
Unfortunately this is still a thing.
I can't reproduce it on Firefox with 6.0 RC2, however it still happens with Thunderbird.
I can reproduce this with chromium/electron based applications and Flatpak GTK based applications. Firefox is fine, and I don't use Thunderbird so i haven't tried it there. A list of applications that i have found with this bug: Libreoffice (GTK Based Flatpak) GIMP 3.0 RC (GTK Based Flatpak) Chromium (Flatpak) Zapzap (Electron based Flatpak) FreeTube (Electron based from the AUR) Upscayl (Electron based from the AUR)
