GNOME: mouse pointer icon not changing

[ciao1092]

Type: Bug

Moving the mouse pointer around does not change its appearance (e.g. it does not change from normal arrow to pointer to text selector when going from empty surface to link to text editor)

Instead it will only show an arrow (the default cursor)

Update: it seems it isn't working in Chrome either. It works in Firefox and other apps.

Reopening: also happening in Debian 11 (Parrot OS)

[ciao1092]

I tried to disable hardware acceleration, but that didn't seem to do anything...

[ciao1092]

Same system, seems to work on KDE

[deepak1556]

it seems it isn't working in Chrome either.

Did you try with vscode.dev or is it an issue with any website ?

[ciao1092]

Any website...

[deepak1556]

Can you open an issue in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list, this seems like a generic issue in the runtime based on chromium and not something we can address.
