Screenshot of all the mouse copies on the screen while tabs are restoring

SUMMARY

Whenever I reboot my computer and I had tabs open in the Microsoft Edge flatpak, the mouse cursor leaves a trail of lots of little cursors across the screen as I move it around. They go away when the browser finishes restoring the tabs. This did not happen on Plasma 5.27, I noticed it when I upgraded to Fedora 40 / Plasma 6 two days before official release.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have some tabs open in Microsoft Edge (flatpak)
2. Reboot computer
3. Reopen Microsoft Edge, and click "restore tabs" when prompted in the upper right
4. Move the mouse around and watch it leave a trail.

Can you reproduce the issue in 6.1? What if you set KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=0 envvar?

I just updated to Plasma 6.1.5 today, and I still experienced the issue. I also tried setting the KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=0 right after I rebooted, and only then restoring my Edge windows. I still experienced the issue. 

If you're suggesting that I set the environment variable in a more permanent way than just typing KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=0 in the command line, please let me know how. I'm happy to test various things, but I haven't had much time in the past few months to play around with my system and continue familiarizing myself with Linux.

Try putting it in in /etc/environment and reboot
