[Bug]: Mouse pointer doesn't reappear when using trackpad after using touchscreen #296

Closed chuckd853 closed 1 year ago

chuckd853 commented 1 year ago

Description

Surface Laptop 3 and Arch Linux/linux-surface

After using touchscreen, the mouse pointer doesn't reappear when I go back to using the trackpad.

The mouse operates as normal in that I can scroll, select text etc. I just don't have a pointer on the screen.

This has been happening for a 6 or more months.

To get the pointer back I open Tilix, press enter, then click the trackpad.

Budgie version

budgie-desktop 10.7

Operating System

6.1.9-arch1-1-surface #1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Touch the screen.
  2. Open xterm/Tilix
  3. Press enter
  4. Tap or hard click the trackpad

Actual result

mouse pointer disappears when I touch the screen but doesn't show up when I go back to using the trackpad.

Expected result

Mouse pointer reappears when I start using the trackpad.

Additional information

No response

This is an issue with Mutter, which Budgie leverages as part of its WM:

I haven't checked it myself (since I don't have any touchscreen devices) but according to a commenter it didn't make it into latest Mutter release. If you want to test when Mutter 43.3 lands in Arch that may be worth doing, and reporting it on the respective issues

Thanks for pointing that out Joshua. I'll close this issue and keep an eye on Gnome/Mutter progression.

Uncertain if this bug should be opened again, considering it is an upstream bug in Mutter, but I wanted to report I'm also affected on Fedora 38 with Mutter 44.0

The mentioned bugs are marked closed, but the discussion continues on 2344. I will also join that discussion after some more triaging 🤔
