Bug ID: 483133
Summary: Mouse cursor stuck in top-left corner in some
fullscreen games on Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: hazel...@mailbox.org
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The mouse cursor started getting stuck in the top-left corner after I turned on
the computer today. It varies depending on game. In some games (I tested The
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Command & Conquer: Renegade) it simply "teleports"
to the corner and stays there when I move the mouse, while in others (I tested
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2) it periodically "blinks" into the corner and
back, causing the screen to briefly scroll in that direction. Other games (I
tested Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the native Linux version of Portal 2),
nothing happens at all, and they play normally.
This did not happen until today (possibly related to an update that got
installed yesterday), and it only happens on Wayland - on X the cursor is
completely unaffected.
Interestingly enough, someone suggested it might be related to Screen Edges,
triggering the overview underneath the game, and after disabling that feature
the mouse started working normally in Wayland for C&C Renegade, but the other
games seem unaffected by this.
All the games tested were launched from Steam, if that's relevant.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch one of the affected games (there are probably more cases where this
happens) while running a Plasma 6.0.1 Wayland session
OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cursor gets stuck in the top-left corner of the screen
EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse functions normally
