Cursor issue #1

Open gauravpadia opened 1 year ago

gauravpadia commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Thanks for updating this soft brightness extension. However there is an issue with the cursor not updating. Like in browser the link hand pointer cursor doesn't change on the link. Once this issue was earlier on the original version also but it was fixed.

Can you please fix ?

Thanks.

Do you recall which version of the original extension was exhibiting this behaviour? What version of gnome-shell are you using? Does this problem go away when you de-select the "Mouse cursor brightness control" setting? Could you post any logs from when the problem occurs (with the "Debug" setting enabled)?

@jkitching Yes, if I de-select or uncheck "Mouse cursor brightness control" then it works fine. So you can close this issue. Thanks.

Well actually, it should still work properly even when "Mouse cursor brightness control" is enabled.

If you are still encountering this issue, it'd be great to get some logs to try track down the root cause!

I have the same problem.

When "Mouse Cursor Brightness Control" is on two things happen:

  1. My Mouse Pointer become smaller (half the size)
  2. It does not show the right cursor icon. Occasionally it updates but it sticks to it for a long time.

Hi @vashmeen,

Could you take a photo of your screen and upload it to show me what the cursor looks like? (Screenshot will likely not work.)

Are you using X or Wayland? What resolution? Do you have scaling enabled, and at what percentage?

As for (2), if you move the cursor up to the very top of the screen, does it restore to the correct brightness?

I am experiencing the same issue when mouse cursor brightness control is enabled. I want to post a gif showing the problem. For me, the mouse does not properly update its shape depending on the context. It only happens with some programs, e.g. anything chromium based, but also yast. With firefox for example it works as expected.

My system: opensuse tumbleweed, kernel 6.6, gnome 45 wayland

Edit: Looks like it is an old xwayland issue? See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2397 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135661
