Summary: Cursor disappears with visibility dodge windows
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.7.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: xwayland
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
The mouse cursor becomes invisible when the panel visibility is set to
"Dodge Windows" and a window triggers the panel to hide. The cursor
remains functional (clicks register) but is not rendered on screen.
The issue occurs for instance in Brave and Discord.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Panel settings (right-click panel → Edit Panel)
2. Set panel visibility to "Dodge Windows"
3. Open or move any window so that it touches or overlaps the panel edge
4. Observe the panel sliding away to hide
OBSERVED RESULT
The mouse cursor disappears and is no longer visible anywhere on screen.
Clicking still works, but the cursor remains invisible.
EXPECTED RESULT
The mouse cursor should remain visible at all times, regardless of panel
hide/show animations triggered by Dodge Windows mode.
