similar problem now in 23.04 almost 6 yrs later When i hover over the desktop cursor is tiny with 4k display and 200% scaling @wayland. so tiny that it is unusable.

I also experience this problem. OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (fossa-bulbasaur X54) External Monitor: 2k Laptop Monitor: 4k Display Config external + laptop screens: 2560x1440 + 1920x1200 (100% scaling) Display Config only laptop screen: 3840x2400 (200% scale) It happens when I switch from external monitor + laptop to just my laptop. The "display scale" goes to 200% or 100% Duplication notes 1. start application while only using laptop then plug in external monitor (200% -> 100% scale): Cursor is HUGE 2. start application while both monitors are in use then unplug external monitor (100% -> 200% scale): Cursor is TINY 3. Restarting the app fixes the cursor size problem Apps tested where bug **occurs** "VSCode": YES. Restarting vscode fixes it "Webstorm": YES. Restarting fixes it. Happens on multiple jetbrains products including "toolbox" "Slack": YES. Restarting fixes it. "Google Chrome": NO. I have a hunch google fixed it themselves or are immune "Gedit": NO.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1700085] Re: Mouse cursor is tiny on HiDPI screens
For people using Gnome Shell on Xorg, a possible fix just landed upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/3fbeeb90726 Please try it if you know how :) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Milestone: ubuntu-17.10 => None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700085 Title: Mouse cursor is tiny on HiDPI screens Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am on Artful and have switched to GNOME as GNOME is the default desktop now and Unity shows some instabilities. I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2nd gen.) notebook with 14-inch QHD (2560x1440) display, so I am well over the good old 72-dpi CRT resolution. With some effort I have at least got a somewhat useful scaling of the GUI elements (esp. text size), mainly by getting into Unity7, getting into the Display Settings there, removing my ~1.5 scaling factor, returning to GNOME, installing the advanced settings manager (gnome- tweak-tool or so) and setting a scaling factor of ~2). Large text in accessibilty does not work for me as it makes the text huge. Now the mouse cursor does no bother on all these changes. It stays always in its 72-dpi hard-coded size which is really tiny under GNOME on my QHD screen. It gets easily totally invisible for me, especially on text fields where it gets a skinny vertical bar. Therefore there are two fixes needed: 1. Mouse cursor needs to scale with scale factor for the desktop, so that it is in a good size relation with the rest of the desktop. Please take this into account for fractional scaling efforts. 2. Even a standard-sized mouse cursor can be too small for people with vision problems, so the accessibility options need a possibility to apply a (fractional) adjustable scaling factor to the mouse cursor's standard size. Please take these changes into account ASAP, ideally on 17.10 at the latest. Please consider backporting upstream fixes for achieving this goal.

Here it stays tiny for a while after reboot/login, and eventually grows to a more normal size. I don't know what triggers the growth. I have gnome-shell 3.26.0-0ubuntu2 on artful, same screen as Till's, and am using a 200% scale factor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700085 Title: Mouse cursor is tiny on HiDPI screens Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am on Artful and have switched to GNOME as GNOME is the default desktop now and Unity shows some instabilities.

#2: gnome-control-center master (future 3.26) has a Cursor Size setting in Settings>Universal Access so that issue is already fixed whenever we get the new version (probably at least in time for 18.04 LTS). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700085 Title: Mouse cursor is tiny on HiDPI screens Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am on Artful and have switched to GNOME as GNOME is the default desktop now and Unity shows some instabilities.
