SUMMARY Since upgrading to Plasma 6.5.1, my cursor in virt-manager is either invisible (when moved to the second monitor), or has a scanlike effect applied to it. This only seems to affect my Linux guests, and not Windows guests. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download and run Fedora 43 KDE in virt-manager. 2. Observe the cursor. OBSERVED RESULT The cursor has a scanlike effect applied to it, and the size isn't correct. It looks squashed and tall at the same time. It also turns invisible when I move the window to my second monitor. EXPECTED RESULT The cursor should appear normal. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.17.5 GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - I'm using `KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1` to workaround game menus stuttering. - `KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1` does not help with this issue. - The cursor appears fine in recordings.. - Virtio vs QXL makes no difference.
If the cursor looks normal, try these steps to reproduce: 1. Open the VM in virt-manager. 2. Adjust View -> Scale Display -> Always. 3. Adjust View -> Scale Display -> Auto Resize VM with window [leave this UNCHECKED]. 4. Make the window larger.
I can reproduce the glitch. That is really odd.
