Bug ID: 482651
Summary: Cursor not locked to window in proton/wine games when
using Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.1
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: u83rmen...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. launch a wine/proton games in a wayland session
2. move your mouse around
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Games will open properly and mouse cursor seems to function fine for menus,
mouse issue do not appear to be noticeable in games where you always have a
traditional cursor (such a point and click game).
2. Games where the mouse cursor is hidden and mapped to a view such as your
camera, most famously in first person type games will cause the player view to
jump around sporadically and/or has limited ability to turn/look left to right
as if the mouse cursor is still there but hidden and is hitting the edge of the
screen space. Some games even fail to grab the mouse input at all yet using the
mouse cursor in said games works perfectly fine.
3. running the same games with in a X11 session does not exhibit the same
symptoms or issues, everything works as expected.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. When playing a game, the mouse gets locked to the game space when said game
space is selected
2. when "locked" to the game space/window the mouse can perform all its normal
functions being both a cursor in menus and full control of the camera/view (or
whatever other analog mouse input function said game might have)

A temporary workaround for this issue has been loading up winecfg (via
protontricks) for the effected titles and selecting the option "Automatically
capture mouse in full screen windows" under the graphics tab. Additionally, for
titles where no mouse input would get captured at all, I had to also enable the
virtual desktop under the same winecfg graphics tab. these were things I did
not have to do before my package manager served me plasma 6 in todays updates.
native linux titles do not seem to be effected by this issue
