In this short video I’m hovering my cursor over the terminal app called Ptyxis, but for some reason this is only happening on my second monitor.

Second monitor specs;

  • Resolution: 1920x1080
  • Scale: 100%
  • Refresh rate: 120hz

Relevant part:

Huge cursors in GTK4 apps

This problem is already fixed in the main branch of GTK 4, but it’s not backported to 4.16 yet, probably because the fix uses a Wayland feature that Mutter doesn’t support yet. So at the moment, your only option is to use a different cursor theme whose “nominal size” and “image size” are equal.

I might be missing something, but the problems seem to only be scaling issues. Why would I have the same issue on a system with 1x scaling?

Edit: nvm, apparently my system has 1,25x scaling by default

It’s not really complicated. It’s called “pushing not ready software to production”.
