Description Igor Mironchik 2024-02-29 15:55:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
Cursor shape for text may not change, and stay as arrow


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a project in system's QtCreator, try to code
2. Invoke auto-completion popup, change focus to it, and to text
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor shape may not change back to one for text, I need to hover a file tree on left side and go back to text field.
I observe this wrong behaviour in different applications, in Menu Editor, for example.


EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor shape should change correctly and immediately.

Is this correct?

No, guess, no. I caught a lot of these issues on Wayland. And due to other blocking issues on Wayland, I switched to X11. Info was copied from X11 session, but problem most occurred on Wayland. on X11, if I remember everything right, I didn't see this issue.
Comment 6 Vlad Zahorodnii 2024-03-04 09:18:34 UTC 
While you're on X11, can you stop kwin_x11 (systemctl --user stop plasma-kwin_x11) and check if the issue is still reproducible?

After you've finished, run systemctl --user start plasma-kwin_x11 to start back kwin

I didn't understand where should I check, on Wayland with stopped kwin_x11, or on X11 with stopped kwin_x11?

In anyway, I guess, that with recent updates this issue is gone. I'm unable to reproduce anymore either on X11 nor on Wayland.

FWIW I've seen this issue happen before with KDevelop and Kate, and can also no longer reproduce it. I think it's been fixed in Qt.
