Setting env var WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 should "fix" this?

[birdie-github]

Yeah, it fixes the problem.

Should I file any other issues under NVIDIA? I've identified a number of them.

• Hints endlessly showing and flickering when pressing the Start button and hovering on applications icons
• Window resize being very laggy for wfconfig

@birdie-github is that a complete log? I’m experiencing a similar issue (tracking) and I’d like to compare notes.

[birdie-github]

Yes, that's a complete log.
