SUMMARY My mouse cursor (using the default theme, haven't tried another one yet) has some visible distortion when hovering over the title bar of a window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move mouse between window border and window contents OBSERVED RESULT The cursor acquires some visual glitchiness when moving to the title bar, and going back to normal when moving to the window contents. EXPECTED RESULT The cursor should look the same. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 6.0.6 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm using Wayland with the open source AMD graphics driver. I have multiple monitors, all scaled to 125%. XWayland doesn't seem to matter, even Wayland-native applications will do this. Interestingly, Firefox's tab bar doesn't do it (I've unchecked the "title bar" setting). I've uploaded a video because a screenshot that includes the mouse cursor doesn't show any difference I could see: https://youtu.be/Rks5lSzwGDo
Very likely a graphics driver issue. If you set KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1 in /etc/environment and reboot, does the issue go away?

OK cool, now how about these? KWIN_DRM_USE_MODIFIERS=0 KWIN_DRM_PREFER_COLOR_DEPTH=24 Can you test them one at a time?
Hi Nate, sorry for the delay, it's been a busy couple of days. Thanks for the suggestions - I tried them both, neither made a difference at all, not even the small improvement I saw with `KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1`.
Ok, thanks!
