Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2015-11-17 04:21:23 UTC 
Running apps in X11 mode (such as Pitivi's daily bundles, or the old LibreOffice), you can see that when you put your mouse...

* over the edge of a window,
* over a Gtk Paned,
* on something that would normally make the cursor change appearance,

...the cursor will remain a normal arrow.

Works for me with Chrome, but this is pretty dependent on the version of XWayland you're running. Previous ones (basically anything but Git master) were unbearably buggy. Which version are you running? jhbuild will handle master for you.
Comment 2 Jonas Ådahl 2015-11-25 12:31:22 UTC 
Could this potentially be something that the invalidate-cursor-sprite-on-enter patch fixes?
Comment 3 Daniel Stone 2015-11-25 13:46:06 UTC 
Yeah, that was my guess. I wasn't just CCing you because I like throwing random bugs at you! :)
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2015-11-30 16:19:12 UTC 
And I assume that is an xwayland patch ? Can we get a link here, to track its progress towards mainline X ?
Comment 6 Olivier Fourdan 2015-12-02 08:06:52 UTC 
Jonas' patch has now been pushed upstream as commit 07941a5:
