Cursor animation stops when not moving cursor

[phuhl]

Extremely minor bug, but thought, I'd report it anyways. When the cursor is moving and there is an animated cursor (e.g. loading indicator), than everything is well, but when the cursor is not moved, the animation does not progress. It seems that animation frames are only requested on cursor repaint

What application is that?

In my case, if I remember correctly, GTK-based Emacs

GNU Emacs 29.4 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.43, cairo version 1.18.2)

As far as I know, GTK 3 and 4 draws the cursor client-side. When I run the cursors demo from gtk3-demo, the spinning cursor updates correctly. So I'm not sure there's a niri issue here?

Hm, ok. No idea, as I said, it is not a biggy anyways, so I guess, I'll just close then.
