SUMMARY At random times, if I leave the mouse still for a few seconds, it will occasionally make a second one appear, sometimes with some other small graphical artifcating. When I move the mouse, the duplicate mouse and artifacting goes away until I stop moving the mouse again. Then, it reappears. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Leave mouse still for about 1-2 seconds. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT After about a second, a duplicate mouse cursor appears to the right of the first one. Sometimes, there is also additional visual artifacting around the mouse cursor area. EXPECTED RESULT The mouse cursor to not be duplicated.

I have not seen this in OpenSuse Tumbleweed in a Wayland session, or git-master Wayland Please check for updates on your system. In an OpenSuse Tumbleweed VM, I see KDE Frameworks 6.14.0, and your reported version is 6.13.0. Can you reproduce this with an up to date system? If you can, does it also happen in a Wayland session as well?

I refreshed my repositories, ran "zypper dup," and restarted my machine, and I'm still on KDE Frameworks 6.13.0. The problem still persists. The specific TW release i have is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20250522. This is all on Wayland, although I've confirmed it in X11, too.
Thanks for confirming this occurs on both Wayland and X11. KDE Frameworks was updated for Tumbleweek, as mentioned in this post from 16 May 2025. https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/message/6AS5UW62LZNSXJZGZUFQDMD6G7N5OTPD/ If you check for updates in Discover, does it update Frameworks? It seems like there may be something wrong with the updates or something else in your system's configuration. Please make sure your system receives this update and re-test with Frameworks 6.14. Thanks.

Thanks. I swear I experienced this bug with a new user, but I tried logging into a new user again today, and the issue went away. When I switched back to my profile, I noticed that in Display Configuration, Color accuracy was set to Prefer color accuracy. When I switched it back to Prefer efficiency (like it is by default), the big immediately stopped. When I switch back to Prefer color accuracy, the bug comes back. This configuration really seems to be the source of the issue.
I'm still not able to reproduce this on an OpenSuse VM, even with the Display Configuration (Wayland) set to Prefer efficiency After a little more digging, I found there is another report of this in bug 504239 That user has KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the older report, please follow that for updates. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 504239 ***
