Created attachment 152419 [details] Cursor changing theme STEPS TO REPRODUCE Open any GTK application and click on a dropdown or foldout or open a context menu by right clicking. OBSERVED RESULT See the attached video ADDITONAL INFORMATION This seems to have been introduced with the fix of bug 458865 and has already been mentioned there, but since this is not the same issue I'm opening a new report. This happens both for application installed through the package manager, as well as flatpaks. Setting the cursor theme from the system settings fixes the issue for the active session, but the issue reappears when restarting. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 5.19.10-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case here, changing the cursor theme (System Settings -> Appearance -> Cursors) from "Oxygen_White" to "Breeze" or back from "Breeze" to "Oxygen_White" doesn't result in any change to the errant behaviour of the cursor theme in GTK applications. Does anyone have a workable temporary fix for this until the issue is resolved? As Firefox and Thunderbird are both popular GTK applications this bug is rather visibly too obvious and detracts from the professional appearance of KDE.

I, (and my users) are most grateful to you :) Could there possibly be unintended consequences to adding that? (At the moment I don't see any).

Thank’s a lot. It looks like it’s a recent regression since very few times. Maybe since kde frameworks 5.98. But not really sure about this. This is my best guess considering my upgrade history Currently still having the issue with: Operating System: Gentoo Linux 2.9 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 6.0.2-gentoo (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11

Same issue as Bug 458865? Or same root cause?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > Same issue as Bug 458865? Or same root cause? This one was caused by the fix of bug 458865, but the cursor issue this bug is about has been discussed in Bug 458865 since.
The issue has been mentioned in Bug 458865 Comment 30 & Bug 458865 Comment 34 to be specific.
It used to happen to me not only in GTK apps, but also on Plasma loading screen for a second after logging in from SDDM. I changed cursor theme to Adwaita in LXAppearance and then back to Breeze and now it doesn't change anymore.
