Mouse disappearing on steam deck after authorizing purchase or case openings/tradeup
The bug
Just noticed something that I've encountered a few times in a few different ways while watching this video about trying csgo on the steam deck @ 9:56~ you can somewhat see the bug where the mouse decides to disappear.
This happens on the new steam deck, and any other linux variant. I also believe it is the same bug as issue #1 or at the very least a variant of it, anyway I thought it deserved its own issue since its for the steam deck :)
How to reproduce:
Version A:
- Open a case (I dont think it matters if you have a key already, mouse might bug out regardless)
Version B:
- Do a tradeup contract
Version C (not confirmed):
- Open community server browser in-game
this is actually a linux problem entirely. this exact thing happens on my Gentoo Desktop and i have to tab out then back in to regain my mouse. Never figured out if its a mis-configuration or just a downright bug with X11
Its definitely not a bug in X11, toggling console on/off usually does the trick for me to bring back the cursor, so that leaves it to a logic bug imo.
As far as I know judging from open sources it is an error in the code around the CSDLMgr namely the code that handles how cursor visibility is kept track of, it appears to currently be working flawlessly in other branches of the source engine e.g. CS:S, TF2, DOTA 2 and so on..
This bug has been reported at least 4 years ago as: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/1832 maybe now would be a good time to finally fix it.
03-04-2023 and I still encounter this error. I would have thought the release of the steamdeck would fix this.
On Ubuntu 22.04.2, this bug is still apparent. Any purchase I make results in the cursor going invisible with no way to get it to reappear in the game. Only solution is restarting.
