--- Comment #5 from cwo <christoph.w...@gmx.de> --- I apologize, I just noticed you're running X11 and tested it on X11 as well. The hide cursor desktop effect is only available under Wayland. I can confirm that some applications, in particular konsole, do hide the cursor automatically; the comments in the merge request where this feature was added (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5077) also notes that some applications independently do this. You will notice that if you type, for example, in System settings itself, the cursor does not hide. This is something that individual applications do on their own, not something that is controlled centrally in System settings the way the Hide Cursor desktop effect is. And in neither Kate nor Konsole does this seem to be explicitly configurable. I'm afraid you'll have to petition the creators of these apps for a way to disable this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
