SUMMARY Upgrading from Plasma Mobile 5 to 6 makes the cursor invisible on touchpad devices. OBSERVED RESULT The cursor is always invisible, even when using the touchpad. EXPECTED RESULT The cursor should appear when using the touchpad, as it did in Plasma Mobile 5. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: postmarketOS Edge (updated 2024-03-08) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Keep in mind that the cursor is only invisible. You can still hover over things and interact with them.
I just noticed that the cursor appears fine on top of GTK windows. It disappears as soon as it leaves Firefox, Gimp, Xournal++, or presumably any other GTK application.
Observed on alpine. After asking KWin folks, it seems it gets fixed with these workarounds: - Setting the env QT_WAYLAND_DISABLED_INTERFACES=wp_cursor_shape_manager_v1 for the entire session - Going into the cursors kcm (kcmshell6 kcm_cursortheme) and then change the cursor theme, and back to breeze I'm not sure why the theme isn't working by default on pmOS though
Weird, it seems that the "dark" cursor theme doesn't exist, wonder if it has something to do with alpine building with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/community/breeze/APKBUILD

Likely should be fixed for 6.0.2, will only close once confirmed
(In reply to Devin Lin from comment #7) > Likely should be fixed for 6.0.2, will only close once confirmed I needed to change the cursor theme via the desktop Plasma settings and change it back for the cursor to appear. Maybe the update just broke the configuration? I might not have tried changing the theme before, because the apply button was obstructed by the bottom panel. Please reopen the issue if you feel that this is appropriate.
The plasma-mobile lookandfeel didn't specify a cursor theme in Plasma 6.0.0, it now does in Plasma 6.0.2
I just updated to Plasma Mobile 6.0.3 with KDE-Frameworks 6.0.0 and Qt 6.6.3 and the cursor issue reappeared. Looking at the desktop settings cursor theme suggests that the dark Breeze theme cannot be applied. As in, I only get a cursor if I select another theme, or select another theme and then switch back to dark Breeze, which will keep the previous theme's cursor. According to your comment https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482863#c3 dark Breeze is just missing on postmarketOS. This means that the issue most likely never actually got fixed and was just worked around temporarily by switching cursor themes. I will reopen this issue for now; Please tell me if I should rather move it to the postmarketOS or Alpine Linux issue tracker.

Is this specific to when you have the Breeze Dark theme installed? From a fresh install I don't see the issue with the light theme, but needs further investigation
(In reply to Devin Lin from comment #11) > Is this specific to when you have the Breeze Dark theme installed? I am convinced that it only happens with Breeze Dark. However, I haven't specifically installed it. At least I am very sure that it came with the default installation.
