For example, while reading PDFs, or browsing webpages (I use firefox with a vi-mode addon, so there are reasonably long intervals where I don't use the mouse and thus don't want to see it) the cursor sometimes gets in the way if I'm using only the keyboard (if it comes to rest on top of a link or a button, it counts as the cursor hovering over the object). Re. why it should be in the display manager, my understanding was that the window manager has complete control of the display in the wayland session, so I assumed that such a feature could only be implemented in the compositor. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
