Cursor reappears on key press #5

Open kimjongbing opened 2 months ago

kimjongbing commented 2 months ago

Issue When the mouse is hidden, if you press any keys the mouse will reappear.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Wait for cursor to hide
  2. Press any key (like arrow keys)
  3. Cursor reappears

Additional information This does not happen on Arch Linux. I am running into this issue on NixOS.

System information OS: NixOS 24.11.20240910.1355a0c (Vicuna) x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.10.9-cachyos DE: GNOME 46.4 WM: Mutter (Wayland) Cursor: Adwaita (24px)

Please let me know if any other information is needed.

Caveat: I have never used NixOS and only have tried the extension on various Ubuntu releases.

This extension is pretty simple and only uses GNOME Shell API. There's definitely nothing distro-specific. So my only guess is some kind of issue (or change/patch) in GNOME Shell in the NixOS you are using.

I see, do you have any suggestions as to how I could figure out/take steps to diagnose what could be causing this behavior on NixOS (or specific to my machine)?

Have you tried a new user account, so you can try the default GNOME settings and no additional extensions?

Does NixOS preinstall any extensions?

Does NixOS have a live boot option you can try to see if the issue occurs there?
