Big mouse on certain applications

[halfaperson1516]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked, thought I do not seem to see anything on this. I’ve noticed that when I am interacting with the application “Planify”, the mouse will suddenly become enlarged. This seems to be case with almost all to-do list applications. Is there any reason that this is happening? I have checked if the mouse size was adjusting to dpi, and it is definitely set to stay at 24. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I believe this is a bug in Mutter and should be fixed at some point. Here’s another conversation about it:

Large mouse curson on ptyxis on aurora-nvidia

@ k3nsh0, thanks for the idea,but unfortunately it does not fix the problem for me. Changing the cursor set through settings does not fix the problem, no matter what “skin” I apply on the cursor, it still keeps changing size in the “problematic” apps See it in actiton: Cursor “dance” The cursor gets enlarged transitioning to Terminal window, on click it gets back to normal size. Strange

Yes, this should get fixed once new Gnome release comes, so when Fedora 42 releases and we update to that.

I run “gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme” as a login script and it fixes large mouse in ptyxis, etc with 2x scaling on kde. You can also run it in a terminal once as needed if you don’t want to set it at login.
