Does it happen on X11 too? OR just Wayland?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2021-05-18 23:58:08 UTC 
X11 too.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-05-20 20:56:45 UTC 
Can reproduce on both X11 and Wayland with the Layan global theme.

Bugs came from dependencies management, the cursor dep have many files and currently we download only one file, result we don't install expected cursor theme.
Currently looking on the good way to solve that

I think this is a theme bug, there is a mechanism to specify which file to download when there are multiple with linkid=%d if I am looking at knewstuff correctly. Is that correct Leinir?

Yes that is the way, though I wouldn't consider it well known by theme developers.

I believe there is something wrong with the process of installing cursors, including on 5.24.90. It seems to be very glitchy.
