SUMMARY With HDR enabled, cursor does not automatically transition through night light colors STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use HDR 2. Enable/disable night light, but keep cursor unchanged OBSERVED RESULT As screen fades in/out of night light colors, the cursor remains the old color until the cursor changes. EXPECTED RESULT The cursor color should follow the rest of the screen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Kernel Version: 6.12.55-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with Radeon Graphics Memory: 96 GiB of RAM (93.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 7700S Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon 680M ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504890 but is from night light, instead of lock screen.
