Bug ID: 479637 Summary: Software cursor has artifacts while hardware looks fine (Intel GPU) Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: 5.92.0 Platform: openSUSE OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: wayland-generic Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: w01dn...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Commit https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/b214251f81cbacacf3ef483081a7cef15343fa7f forces software cursors on Intel GPU's. But they have visual artifacts. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Activate software cursors with `KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1` 2. Check how cursor is rendered. 3. Disable software cursors with `KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=0` 4. Compare rendering. OBSERVED RESULT HW cursors have smooth shadow outside. SW cursors have artifacts instead of shadow. EXPECTED RESULT SW should look similar to HW ones.
