Description Nick Stefanov 2019-10-29 18:31:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
Launch feedback icon doesn't work at all after upgrade to Plasma 5.17. If I create a new user profile it works but doesn't work in my current profile. Enable/Disable it via System Settings UI doesn't work. Editing ~/.config/klaunchrc doesn't help no matter the settings. Here's my settings:

I tried different cursor themes including the default one (Breeze) to no avail. Feedback in panel works though.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file/start an application.
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
There's no launch feedback icon. The cursor doesn't change at all.

EXPECTED RESULT
To see some feedback from the cursor like bouncing icon which I use since KDE4.

I can confirm bug too.
My system is also Arch x64 .
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-10-29 21:15:59 UTC 
Does it return if you change the cursor size from "Resolution Independent" to some hardcoded size?
Comment 4 Nick Stefanov 2019-10-29 21:52:54 UTC 
Yes, thank you!!! It didn't even crossed my mind :)
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2019-10-29 21:55:51 UTC 
Yet another reason to just delete this setting: Bug 407749.
Comment 6 Nick Stefanov 2019-10-29 22:10:25 UTC 
it's obviously problematic indeed :)
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2019-10-30 00:34:16 UTC 
Kai, could this have regressed due to your change recently? Can we just get rid of the "Resolution Independent" cursor size setting?
Comment 8 iton88 2019-10-30 03:53:54 UTC
