Mouse cursor shape does not update in Chrome

[rotech]

The mouse cursor does not update in Chrome. For example when hovering over links the mouse pointer does not change to the "finger", or the I-beam when over a text field.

When using a web based application with a lot of cursor changes (e.g. OnShape) it is particularly noticeable that some changes work, and others don't. Often Chrome will get completely stuck on the pointer shape with no changes at all.

This does not happen in Sway.

Does it occur on other compositors? Cosmic, sway, kwin

[rotech]

Doesn't happen in sway or cosmic. Haven't tried kwin.

Are you running Chrome on Wayland on other compositors? It might be running on XWayland

[rotech]

Definitely on wayland. I'll run it through xwayland-satellite and see if it's the same maybe?

That's on niri, but on other compositors? They have built-in XWayland so it may run on XWayland there

[rotech]

After doing more testing I have discovered it happens after waking from suspend. Only on niri under wayland. Sway etc work fine, and if I force Chrome to run in xwayland under niri it works fine.

Hm, that's weird. Not sure then. Could even be a driver bug

I'm also seeing this in the Cursor IDE (which is written in electron so likely related), lmk how I can help debug

[rotech]

Done a bit more testing, and it's definitely not happening on Cosmic, so unlikely to be smithay related.
