Live-share: Live Share cursor is incorrect on Linux distros with desktop environments other than Gnome or Unity

Created on 18 Apr 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: MicrosoftDocs/live-share

While Ubuntu has been the primary focus of initial validation for Live Share, we have found that many other distributions also work once the correct pre-requisite libraries are installed.

However, one distribution specific issue we have found is that some distributions that use non-Gnome based desktop environments (e.g. SuSE KDE, Manjaro Xfce) will see an incorrect representation of participant's cursors.

Seems to be working here, Arch Linux w/ KDE.

I'm going to close this since we haven't actually heard anyone report it, and @odensc claims that it didn't even repro on distros we thought it did 馃槃 Please re-open this if the issue is still happening, and we can look into fixing it.

Same error found in a section opened in OpenSuse Tumbleweed with Xfce4
The participant is in Windows 10, my cursor is ok in his PC,
but his cursor is looking like this on mine:

@aletsdelarosa have you been tracking this bug?

Closing due to age of bug. Please re-activate if the issue is still appearing.

@Davsterl I'm having this issue in Opensuse Tumbleweed.
Desktop environment: GNOME
Another person was having the same problem in the thread.
It would be great if this could be reopened.
