Bug ID: 412004
Summary: Cursor becomes giant when hovering over shell
components with Wayland fractional scaling
Product: KScreen
Version: git
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: brianabe...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I've found a big issue with the Wayland fractional scaling, in which when you
hover over the plasma desktop or taskbar the cursor becomes humongous (about 3x
larger), this is despite what you set in the cursor size setting. Dolphin as
well is affected, however Firefox in Xwayland, and other applications running
with X seem to not be affected, nor is Kwin's window controls.
I have been using Xrandr fractional scaling without such an issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set system scale (1080p 14in @ 1.2 scale)
2. Hover over the panel or desktop, dolphin, or other applications which use
Wayland such as system settings or discover (I assume all Wayland applications
are affected).
3: Notice the cursor inflates to a giant size
5: Hover over firefox, spotify, discord, or kwin's titlebar and note that the
cursor appears to shrink back to a normal size.
6: The cursor looks fine in a screenshot even if it's a screenshot of the big
or small rendered one.
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor becomes huge and seems about 3x larger, making it quite unwieldy
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor stays the same no matter what you hover over, at the correct scale.
