Weirdly I'm not seeing this on Fedora 30, I'm only seeing it on Rawhide, and I haven't figured out a pattern because it doesn't always happen. Also I'm only using Rawhide VM's in virt-manager, so I'm not certain the guest matters but that's speculative. Definitely it's related to virt-manager and intel graphics because I'm not using anything other than those two. My Fedora 30 laptop has 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] [8086:1916] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) My Fedora 31 laptop (with this transient issue) has 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) So it might be a controller specific bug, possibly kernel regression. But I'm not sure what components are responsible for the drawing of the pointer, and how it's negotiated when it transitions a virt-manager guest window, and all the ways that could cause confusion in a way to make the pointer vanish. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
