UPDATE IN COMMENTS!!
Hey there, I don’t know if any of you noticed something similar recently, but I have noticed my cursors have gone HUGE, like 2x what it should be at least. I think this is related to the affected apps using a beta version of Libadwaita 1.6, but I just wanted to confirm here before I create an issue in the repo. I use 200% scaling, GNOME 45, Fedora 39. Does anybody else have this problem? Thanks!!
How it should look (in Pods, firefox and most other apps)
How it looks in Ptyxis
How it looks in Adwaita Demo (latest update, which bumped the libadwaita version to 1.6)
I occasionally see a larger cursor on GNOME, but it’s always been alongside larger scaling for everything. Steam in particular sometimes decides to ignore it’s high DPI setting and looks like it’s running on a phone screen. Firefox occasionally as well.
This must be some issue with how DPI modes are recorded and how apps are launched. Restarting the app has fixed it every time for me, so I’ve never looked deeper into it.
