Describe the bug

When using FreeTube flatpak via a wayland session, and also having fractional scaling turned on, the cursor ends up becoming extremely tiny. This issue isn't present when using via xwayland, however on displays that require fractional scaling, it results in a very blurry and low resolution interface.

It had been reported in the electron issue tracker earlier here

However, this pretty much requires individual app fixes to rectify the issue as per this

I granted permission to both the local .icons and .themes directories using the below commands, however it didn't work:

sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.themes sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.icons

Specifying the variables also failed:

sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=Yaru
sudo flatpak override --env=ICON_THEME=Yaru-blue

Any idea what must be wrong here?

Overriding the XCURSOR_PATH env var (XCURSOR_PATH=/run/host/user-share/icons:/run/host/share/icons) seems to fix the issue.

Overriding did indeed fix the issue, thank you very much for the solution to this. It would be better, if it is added by default though.
