Description Fxzx Zyra 2024-07-01 10:37:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
Two mouse cursors are displayed inside the VM and not very synchronized. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install openSUSE Tumbleweed in QEMU.
2. Enter desktop.

OBSERVED RESULT
Doubled cursors

EXPECTED RESULT
Only one cursor

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It only appears after entering the desktop and is normal on the SDDM login interface. So it should be a Wayland related issue.

Sorry, this got lost in my mails. The driver doesn't expose a hardware cursor, so KWin paints a software cursor... That the VM is in addition painting another cursor is a bug in the VM (kernel driver, or the GUI for the VM, not sure), not something we can fix.
