SUMMARY The new feature « shake cursor » makes cursor disappear; it was working perfectly on beta. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Shake cursor OBSERVED RESULT Cursor disappear. EXPECTED RESULT Cursor inflates like a balloon. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Gentoo Linux 2.15 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.6-gentoo-x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 31.3 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can confirm this on Fedora 40 and 6.1.1 However, if I change the cursor theme to something other than Breeze it works. Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kernel Version: 6.9.6-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
So you're saying it disappears when you're using Breeze, but works fine with a 3rd-party cursor theme? I can't reproduce the issue, and interestingly enough it's the opposite of what I saw in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5967 while reviewing it. It got fixed before merge though.

It got fixed before merge though. Yes exactly right. I've tried numerous 3rd party cursor themes and it works fine.
Created attachment 171019 [details] Changing cursors A brief screen cast showing the issue.
Can somebody change the cursor theme to breeze and attach ~/.config/kdedefaults/kcminputrc and ~/.config/kcminputrc to this bug report? Also can you post the output of `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation`?
How did you get 6.1.1 in Fedora 40, Colin? They're not shipping it to stable yet. Did you use a COPR or something?

qdbus command output is wrong. Can you please run "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" ? Also do effects such as invert work correctly?

Configuration is fine. Maybe Qt resources (high resolution breeze cursor theme) have been stripped from kwin executables during build?
Created attachment 171039 [details] patch @Julien can you please apply the following patch? then shake the cursor and post kwin output here
I have applied the patch and found something like this in journalctl: juin 26 21:50:29 pasokon.maison kwin_wayland_wrapper[3374]: :/effects/shakecursor: QList("cursors") juin 26 21:50:29 pasokon.maison kwin_wayland_wrapper[3374]: :/effects/shakecursor/cursors: QList("breeze_cursors", "Breeze_Light") juin 26 21:50:29 pasokon.maison kwin_wayland_wrapper[3374]: :/effects/shakecursor/cursors/breeze_cursors: QList("cursors", "index.theme") juin 26 21:50:29 pasokon.maison kwin_wayland_wrapper[3374]: :/effects/shakecursor/cursors/breeze_cursors/cursors: QList("default") Is it what you wanted me to show you?

Yeah, it looks fine... I don't understand why the cursor is hidden then...
I just ran a test, and downgraded kwin* to 6.1.0, then ran kwin --replace. All my cursors including Breeze worked fine. I then updated back to kwin 6.1.1 and the Breeze cursor disappears on shake. Just FYI

I have applied patches from merge request. It works! (And also I can see that cursor is really pretty now, when magnified)
