SUMMARY It is currently impossible to calibrate the drawing tablet, as when entering the calibrate full screen page the cursors disappear: 1. the mouse cursor strangely seem to only be visible in the middle of the screen 2. the tablet cursor is totally not visible (but exist and work) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open systemsetting 2. Open "Drawing Tablet" page -> "Pen" subpage OBSERVED RESULT The cursor is invisible EXPECTED RESULT The cursor should be visible SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.17.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with Radeon Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (14,9 GiB usable) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is intentional, but not well explained. The whole point of calibrating is to change the (bad) relationship between the detected position and where you stylus actually is. If we show the cursor, people will just tap where the cursor lies which defeats the entire purpose of calibration. > 1. the mouse cursor strangely seem to only be visible in the middle of the screen That doesn't feel right, are you sure it's actually visible in the calibration window?

How should you calibrate then? Clicking the most extreme point of the tablet? If yes that is pretty difficult on most screen less tablet (especially because it take a single click. Maybe it would be better to make the user move the cursor around and take the most extreme position that it pass through? 2. yes it is indeed visible both the mouse and the tablet cursor are visible when hovering the button. Which look quite strange. 3. considering that, that screen cover all mouse,... it probably should be possible to exit from it by using esc. Currently the only way to
3. considering that, that screen cover all mouse,... it probably should be possible to exit from it by using ESC. Currently the only way to exit it (for what I know) is to use blindly the mouse or to using tab navigation. I will split these points into separate bugs, if they are considered valid problems.
