The issues are not in apps, its with KDE desktop, system settings etc. When logging into windows, the mouse automatically disappears within a few seconds if not being used. It reappears when the mouse is moved. It would be nice if this behavior could be implemented in the KDE Desktop. It is not related to keyboard use. It is independent of keyboard use. If it is not doable in Wayland, I get it. KDE users have been using it for years to get mouse pointer behavior that is typical in other environments, specifically Windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
