Bug ID: 427060
Summary: Cursor "hit box" is offset under Wayland (VMWare)
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: guimarcalsi...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a video of the issue right here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tyqU1nFuvY&feature=youtu.be
I'm using a a VMWare virtual machine with the latest KDE Neon unstable, and I
noticed the cursor "hit box" is offset. Like, i'm using the Wayland session
right now, and if I try to select this line the cursor actually selects the
line above it. I tested the same virtual machine in a Gnome Wayland session and
it works normally, including QT apps. The bug doesn't seem to affect Plasma
Shell as much (I can still see some weird cursor changes on Kickoff when
hovering over text fields and the profile picture, but interacting with the
taskbar and icons on the desktop seems fine). The bug is especially visible on
Discover and web browsers. It's also visible when trying to resize windows.
I don't know if this happens on real hardware as I don't have Linux installed
on my machine.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter a Plasma Wayland Session using VMWare (I'm using VMWare open tools
package for drivers)
2. Interact with programs, resize windows and hover mouse cursor over elements.
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor doesn't click to where it's pointing. Moving it over elements like
buttons and text boxes causes it to change and jump around.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor should actually click to where it's pointing and not jump around when
hovering over elements like buttons and text boxes.
