The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn’t justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

    This actually isn’t a bug, it’s a KDE feature (literally). It’s so you can shake your mouse to find it. Here’s more detail, but basically to disable:

    Uncheck System Settings → Accessibility → Shake Cursor → “Shake cursor to find it”

        It’s quite helpful if you have a big monitor and play games that have textures similar to the cursor colors. On Gnome it’s available as an extension (Wiggle)

          Yeah before you only had the “show cursor” kwin effect with 2 circles around it, needing a key combo. This one is way better
