Description David 2021-10-20 04:01:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
In some situations, the mouse pointer will revert to the default theme within some context.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a non-default mouse pointer theme.
2. Launch Dolphin.
3. Open some folder that would be tall enough to be scrollable.
4. Drag some file up to the top bar that has buttons and watch the mouse pointer.

OBSERVED RESULT
The mouse pointer shows as the default breeze theme within the toolbar.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should always use the mouse theme that I have configured.

If you restart KWin with kwin_x11 --replace in a terminal window, does the titlebar start picking up the new cursor?

No, the issue is still present.

Darn, can reproduce.

FYI: I've managed to work around the problem that kwin was using a different cursor while hovering above the window decoration and a simple strace revealed that it was looking for default cursor, which wasn't in the off-the-shelf Kubuntu 24.10's Oxygen Blue theme. Making a hardlink to the leftptr named default worked that issue around.
