Sway: Mouse pointer disappears in Firefox

Created on 20 Mar 2017  路  11Comments  路  Source: swaywm/sway

When hovering over maps in Firefox, the mouse pointer disappears. This doesn't occur in Chromium or in weston.
I'm running sway from 0.12.1-1.fc27 from Fedora Rawhide, wlc 0.0.8-1.fc26.

Happens to me with gmail and some flash games in chromium. Something to do with flash?

It also desappear in QtCreator studio (...

The same for wpa_gui and wireshark (qt) when you open menu. Looks like it reproduces for all qt5 applications

The pointer does come back if i move it outside the boundries of the app in question, but it takes ~5 seconds of travel.

Do other compositors have the same problem? Other wlc-based compositors?

I've checked weston (is weston wlc based?) and it doesn't have this problem

Why mouse even hide itself? In what kind of source or logic? I'm switching back to openbox - very annoying issue (also in other applications like qt creator, etc..)

Investigate it. Complaining isn't going to help.

Didn't you know? Open Source means that we have full access to the code so that others can fix it for us when we complain!

Really? I'm Investigate it... But I just wanna know direct points by creator or any open minds about this serious issue.
Beside this source code is complicated and there is many places where issue can be or you know better how to fix this?
And how you debug it? Just logging?

Happens to me with gmail and some flash games in chromium. Something to do with flash?

No I don't think so. I also have this in some native html5 webapps (like OnlyOffice web editors etc.)
