SUMMARY Annoying bug that acts as if a pointer is still where it was when you stop moving your mouse and start using a tablet to move the cursor around and vice versa. This is especially aggravating with the taskbar, the place you would most often start moving w/ tablet when going to paint, for example. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move pointer to taskbar elements for example, but this works on any app that does "arming" effects when you hover upon something. 2. Teleport the cursor away to at least the territory of another window with the other device, mice save their positions before tablets did any motion so you can do it with them too. OBSERVED RESULT The previous spot refuses to acknowledge this change and continute to do hovering effects of whatever it normally would EXPECTED RESULT The cursor not having attachment issues SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Kernel Version: 6.17.1-2-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.3 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Product Name: MS-7C56 System Version: 2.0 Multiple monitors ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It works fine on X11, like everything else wayland.
Actually it's even worse than this with just tablets, you can trigger this bug by just grazing your taskbar icons and leaving the taskbar with only your tablet. It won't let the cursor leave. I'd bet this happens with regular windows too but I can't think of a good way to test that.
Disabling "panel and widget tooltips" in System Settings > Workspace > General at least dodges this from the taskbar, at dissapointing cost though.
