Wacom cursor is invisible - OpenBoard v1.6.1 - Fedora 34 - Flatpak #514

I reported this previously (Bug #487) for Fedora 33, but the problem is still occurring in Fedora 34. In summary, I installed OpenBoard v1.6.1 on my Fedora 34 system via Flatpak. I have a Logitech mouse and a Wacom Bamboo Tablet with an accompanying stylus/pen. With the mouse, there is a visible cross cursor and it disappears whenever I draw something, which is okay. However, with the Wacom stylus/pen, there is no visible cursor ever so it's difficult to place the pen exactly where you want it with no visible cursor. The cursor should be visible prior whenever I'm not drawing. Also, please note that I have a dual monitor system. I don't know whether that matters, but who knows? It might. Lastly, I don't see this problem with Inkscape, although it is the OS installation and not the Flatpak.

I had a similar issue on Ubuntu 20.04 on a Tablet with a Wacom digitizer with the package manager release, but in my case my cursor would always show at the same point in the bottom-right corner of the screen, despite the pen's location being elsewhere. It would sometimes disappear completely like it is for you, but that isn't as common for me. However, this would only occur when using Wayland. I am not super familiar with Fedora, but their implementation of GNOME might use Wayland by default, which could explain it.

I have the same issue with Ubuntu 23.10, running the Wayland session.

bbigby64 commented 4 months ago

The problem appears to be specific to Wayland. The cursor doesn't disappear in Xorg.

Agreed.

I had the same issue on Ubuntu and could fix it by installing this Gnome shell extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4509/disable-unredirect-fullscreen-windows/

I'll give it a try.
