Description David 2019-02-15 12:06:09 UTC
If I set a custom mouse cursor theme, in some situations it will still temporarily change it back to the default one. Here’s one example but it happens in other situations too:

Steps to reproduce:
* Use icons-only task manager
* Activate “Show tooltips” in the options
* Pin some icon there
* Launch pinned application
* Hover mouse over the icon and wait until it shows a preview above it
* Click and hold the mouse click on that icon
* Move the mouse to the preview area while holding the click

Expected behavior:
Cursor theme should remain as it is configured.

Actual behavior:
Reverts to the default cursor theme there.

Reproducible: always + in other situations which I haven’t been able to pinpoint.

Is the problem that the grabby cursor is always the default black one?

Yes but in this case it's only the default one within the preview area, outside it it's still the one set by the theme. In cases of very high RAM and CPU usage, it temporarily switches to the default one in more cases though.

Now, if you meant "grabby cursor" as "the one that looks like a cross in the default theme", then no, that "grabby cursor" is not the one that reverts to default, but the regular one (the arrow).

This is not the same as 382604 as it happens also after a full restart.

What Plasma version are you using?
