`cursor_inactive_timeout` un-hiding issues

[y0nei]

I use the cursor_inactive_timeout option with a timeout of 5 My issue is that the cursor sometimes un-hides after some delay for some reason (instead of the un-hiding being instant in most cases), i can even see browser ui elements highlighted indicating that the cursor position indeed does change but it has a wierd delay on being rendered back again from being hidden. The cursor appears again once i hover on another wayland window like eg. waybar, or sometimes after a short while by itself

Not sure if this is even relevant but here are all the GTK/Cursor related settings i use:

### GTK Related
env = GTK_THEME,Nordic
env = XCURSOR_THEME,Breeze_Snow
exec-once = hyprctl setcursor Breeze_Snow 24
exec-once = gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme Breeze_Snow
exec-once = gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme Vimix-dark

env = XCURSOR_SIZE,24
env = WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS,1

Same here, since a very long while, and even when using hyprcursor format.

• set something like cursor_inactive_timeout = 2
• open a window where highlight is visible (eg: web browser with links/buttons)
• do not move the mouse, it will hide
• start moving the mouse: the cursor is not visible while app responds to the cursor movements

The cursor will only get visibility when the focus moves out of the currently focused client window

Note: I'm also using WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 but I don't think it's related.

Additional note: without the cursor_inactive_timeout set the cursor may still hide and can be challenging to recover (even switching workspaces / client focus / ...)

Is this still the case? Bc hide cursor works fine for me.
