cursor sizes

With Plasma 6 Beta 1 I observe that cursor sizes are not consistent between applications. In the attached example the selection cursor is too large in the "kitty" window. The expected size is shown in the "kate" window. The image is spliced together from two screenshots. As far as I'm aware  I don't have any scaling set anywhere. This was not an issue in Plasma 5.

Unfortunately this is an app-specific bug. The issue is that the app or the toolkit it uses does not support the input-shape-v1 Wayland protocol. Can you report this to the developers of the app? Thanks!
