Description

I just upgraded my Hyprland from 0.40 to 0.41.2.

Since that, my mouse leaves a trail of pixels.

It seams to by an issue on dark websites and applications.

Not all cursor forms seams to leave a trail. (hand OK, arrow or Ibeam NOT-OK) Not all applications are affected: kitty, alacritty, brave NOT-OK, firefox, libreoffice OK Not all sites are affected.

How to reproduce

No idea. I would like to know.

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

[vaxerski]

try on git

[wrocketdev]

I actually have the exact same problem

[DonPiotr]

I compiled 0.41.0 and downgrade. There is no problem with mouse.

[DonPiotr]

I compiled 0.41.1 and it is OK. Then I compiled 0.41.2 and it is broken.

Previously I used 0.41.2 packages from repo, this time I compiled it myself from Void templates.

EDIT: here by repo I mean repo of Void template maintainer

[vaxerski]

can you bisect then?

[DonPiotr]

Have some problems with bisecting. Can't build from repo. It stack on applying patches for wlroots-hyprland. Yes, I know that now wlroots is removed, but trail problem appeared before it.

[gulafaran]

does it occur with #7178 ?

[DonPiotr]

Solved problem with building from git repo. "Quickly" I will have bisect results.

[DonPiotr]

After 2 hours of compiling and recompiling:

    Moves CRegion, CBox and Vector2D over to hyprutils.

    Requires hyprutils>=0.1.4

[DonPiotr]

no_hardware_cursors enabled/disabled/commented changes nothing

I didn't set any themes. I have only that:

env = XCURSOR_SIZE,24
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

[DonPiotr]

BTW: a trail disappear when I change focus to another window or when I put a cursor on some website element with hover modifier. "Disappear" means that start a new trail.

[vaxerski]

wait, does it still happen on 0.42?

[DonPiotr]

This night I was bisecting. An hour ago I saw there is 0.42. I begin to compile it 30 minutes ago (more less). Last commit (83a) wasn't compiling. I checkout to 9a0 and it still seams to compile. When it finish, I will comunicate how it is working.

[DonPiotr]

So I compiled 0.42. I found cursor in form of hyprland logo. Nice but a little big. On my computer still:

no_hardware_cursors enabled/disabled/commented

and

env = XCURSOR_SIZE,... env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,...

change nothing.

Seams that trail of pixels issue is solved.

yeah that hyprcursor is a default fallback cursor with a fixed size. set a theme.

[DonPiotr]

No, it have to be reopen.

Hyprland logo cursor doasn't leave a trail. BTW: need more documentation about cursor theming.

But when in Brave it come back to form of arrow or in Logseq to form of Ibeam, trail problem return.

This on 0.42.0

are you using monitor scaling?

[DonPiotr]

No

monitor=,preferred,auto,auto

I manage to install that: https://github.com/guillaumeboehm/hyprcursor_dracula_kde But still Brave and some other app fallback to normal arrow with a trail. Firefox also don't use themed cursor, but don't have trail problem as previously.

[DonPiotr]

It seams that affected are only flatpak's applications.

[DonPiotr]

I did: flatpak override --filesystem=~/.icons:ro --user as in hyprland's wiki

This (after reboot) fixed qutebrowser (flatpak) cursor. But Brave and Logseq (flatpaks) still have a cursor trail.

[DonPiotr]

I copied xorg and hyprcursor themes to /usr/shere/icons, /usr/shere/themes, ~/.local/share/icons, ~/.local/share/themes, ~/.icons, ~/.themes (ok, part of that I make symbolic links), then I run full command from wiki: flatpak override --filesystem=~/.themes:ro --filesystem=~/.icons:ro --user

It wasn't working at all.

Then for other reasons I reboot my machine and ... it worked.

I don't know if previous comment was enough. Don't know in which moment was all set right.

But in the end, it's working without any trail, and with same themed cursor everywhere.
