The cursor is tiny on my hidpi screen when using the snap version of inkscape. This is on Fedora 29/Wayland. It's the first snap I ever installed so i don't know whether it is reproducible with other snap apps.

I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2nd gen.) notebook with 14-inch QHD (2560x1440) display, so I am well over the good old 72-dpi CRT resolution. With some effort I have at least got a somewhat useful scaling of the GUI elements (esp. text size), mainly by getting into Unity7, getting into the Display Settings there, removing my ~1.5 scaling factor, returning to GNOME, installing the advanced settings manager (gnome- tweak-tool or so) and setting a scaling factor of ~2). Large text in accessibilty does not work for me as it makes the text huge. Now the mouse cursor does no bother on all these changes. It stays always in its 72-dpi hard-coded size which is really tiny under GNOME on my QHD screen. It gets easily totally invisible for me, especially on text fields where it gets a skinny vertical bar. Therefore there are two fixes needed: 1. Mouse cursor needs to scale with scale factor for the desktop, so that it is in a good size relation with the rest of the desktop. Please take this into account for fractional scaling efforts. 2. Even a standard-sized mouse cursor can be too small for people with vision problems, so the accessibility options need a possibility to apply a (fractional) adjustable scaling factor to the mouse cursor's standard size. Please take these changes into account ASAP, ideally on 17.10 at the latest. Please consider backporting upstream fixes for achieving this goal.
