Graphical issues on Plasma Wayland

Graphics / Linux Linux

I’m trying out Plasma on Wayland on Nvidia on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I noticed two graphical bugs:

  1. When moving the cursor from one screen to another, while looking at the desktop, the cursor also briefly remains on the previous screen:
  2. There are black squares following the cursor on the poweroff screen:

Hi,
The second seems to be related to this(affects any GPU and any driver):

The first one, is very hard for me to reproduce, it barely occurs, I have seen the mouse sometimes leave in the middle for a second, not as excessive in your video. Perhaps it’s best to be reported on KDE’s bug report, not sure?

I did already report the issues to KDE:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464620

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464619

I suppose the second issue may be related to the that bug, though I haven’t seen the same thing on my laptop which has AMD graphics.

Thanks for sharing these!
Yes, I can see they confirm it is Nvidia driver bug, will keep track.
