Wrong Mouse pointer during drag-and-drop #138

Open probonopd opened 2 years ago

probonopd commented 2 years ago

Mouse pointer (cursor shape) becomes an X during drag-and--drop:

Was closed upstream as "not reproducible" although I can reproduce it with pcman-fm:

https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt/issues/1476

Hence, more investigation needed.

Should this happen again, try

xsetroot  -cursor_name  left_ptr 

This replaces the default Xorg "X" cursor with a normal mouse pointer, which should be the default anyway imho.
