Gamescope Mouse Cursor is sliced in the middle

Hello,

There seems to be two issues with the mouse cursor when using gamescope:
Most evident one(visible on the screenshot attached) is that the mouse cursor is sliced in the middle.
Second one is it doesn’t update, if a game uses custom mouse cursor which changes for loading, icon for building etc. the cursor always remains the initial one which the game booted on.

Yeah, that’s weird. It’s been like this for a long time. Probably it’s always been like this. Maybe this is because NVIDIA lacks “hardware cursor” support?

Did you manage to solve it?

I wasn’t able to find any solution.

Is there any update on what could potentially be causing this bug ?

This could be happening in MechWarrior5 Mercs too, via proton.
Interesting little issue. (only with gamescope btw)

Nope… and I couldn’t find a bug report for this issue on gamescope’s GH repository. That’s actually the first thread I see about this topic online, while I’ve been having this issue for months.
