Description jackyguo18 2022-04-30 15:53:21 UTC 
SUMMARY
This issue is exclusive to KDE/Wayland. I have tried with X11. In addition, the issue never occurred on GNOME.

In virt-manager, the graphical console does not hide the cursor correctly. It should be doing this so long as the cursor is hovering on the console. However, it doesn't.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open virt-manager.
2. Open a VM. This creates a separate window.
3. Start the VM. Move the cursor over the graphical console and observe.
4. If the cursor seems fine, try minimizing, then re-opening the window.

OBSERVED RESULT
The host cursor is visible on the graphical console.

EXPECTED RESULT
The host cursor should be invisible if it is on the graphical console.

It seems like this might've been a bug on virt-manager's end.
