Android Settings app in Waydroid, cursor visible in GNOME but not Plasma

SUMMARY

The cursor / mouse pointer is not visible when Android apps are run through waydroid in windowed mode (with the property "persist.waydroid.multi_windows true" enabled). Input works, clicking and scrolling works. Disabling the property (setting it to false) brings back the cursor, but everything runs fullscreen. This issue does not occur in GNOME (the cursor is visible even when windowed).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and set up waydroid.
2. Enable the multi window property (waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.multi_windows true).
3. Run any Android app.

OBSERVED RESULT
The app runs, clicking and scrolling works, but the mouse pointer isn't visible.

EXPECTED RESULT
The app runs, clicking and scrolling works, the mouse pointer is visible.

I'm not sure this is a kwin bug but I'm reporting it here in case it is (because the apps work fine on GNOME).
Otherwise, Wayland has been so good on Plasma lately I've switched to it for my daily driving, great work dev team.

Setting up waydroid seems like some hassle. Can you run waydroid with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 environment variable and attach its output to this bug report?

On the other hand, I suspect that waydroid renders cursors using opengl or vulkan. kwin prior to 5.26 does not support that. It will be fixed in 5.27. So I suspect that it's going to be fixed in 5.27.
