Mouse Cursor is on Firefox title bar.  Too small.

SUMMARY
Just noticed that the mouse cursor (I am using the Breeze mouse cursor theme) changes sizes depending on what it is hoving over.  For example, it is larger (I would say the right size) over Firefox's window, but too small when hovering over the titlebar.  It is the right size over panels, including latte-dock, but too small over the desktop.  I have included two images of this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use breeze cursor theme, 2x scaling (I am on a 4k monitor)
2. move mouse over different regions of the screen
3. move over desktop, open windows, panels

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cursor size is sometimes correct (I think) and sometimes too small

EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse cursor size is consistent

Change your cursor setting to be something other than "Resolution Independent"; it's buggy.

Re-opening to track the actual issue itself, since we may not be able to delete the Resolution Independent setting anytime soon.

[Cursors] Remove Resolution Dependant option

Summary:
This option don't work as expected for years on X, and current wayland protocol don't allow to have a proper size for all application (each framework came with this own solution for this option, that mean we will not have same cursor size on different application)

We set default size as 24

This is not fixed. It is happening to me now and been reported by others on reddit.
Comment 11 Nate Graham 2022-07-15 20:57:52 UTC
It is, but not with the root cause of this specific bug. For example one issue is Bug 451158.
