Bug ID: 468742
Summary: Cursor vertically splitfies when moving between
monitors at random times
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When moving between monitors sometimes the cursor just splits into a bunch of
vertical bars. I'll attach an image so you can see how it looks. The cursor in
the image is just over a normal terminal window but where it would normally a
simple arrow you will see it's, well, something else.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I wish I could give exact steps to reproduce but it happens very randomly when
moving the cursor between monitors.
The only thing I have notice that is consistent is that it doesn't seem to
happen if moving the cursor across monitors slowly. It's usually a little
faster than average than seems to do it.
OBSERVED RESULT
It only takes its weird form while on that monitor where it went weird. That
is, if I move it back to another monitor the cursor goes back to normal. Then,
move it back the monitor it went weird on and it will be weird again. That is,
once it happened it will remain that way but only on the monitor it went weird
on.
However, it can be easily reset. Usually by doing something that holds the
cursor in a different shape, like dragging a window, and while doing that move
the cursor from a good window to the one it went weird on and once something
like that has fixed it then it's fine until it randomly goes weird again.
BTW, this has been happening for a couple of years at least it's just that it
was such a minor thing that I never got around to reporting it.
EXPECTED RESULT
Not to happen.
