Summary

Cursor sidecar samples that store cursorType as JSON null, or omit the key, now reset to arrow instead of holding the last pointer or text state. Theme picker cells show both arrow and pointer when a pack has distinct art, so a pack is not previewed as arrow-only.

Screenshots / video

Theme picker: Hello Kitty cell shows arrow and pointer; Default shows a single sprite.

Testing

  • Native compositor preview: pointer sprite at the earlier sample, arrow sprite after a null or omitted type.
  • Editor Cursor pane: Hello Kitty preview uses both sprites; Default uses one.

The compositor reset was measured on Windows LiveView with a sidecar that injects pointer then JSON null. A macOS capture replay was not repeated here; the compositor change is the path the issue names.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Cursor theme previews now show both arrow and pointer styles when they differ.
    • Themes without a separate pointer preview use the available arrow preview.
    • Default themes display the appropriate cursor preview assets.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Cursor metadata with a missing or null type now correctly resets to the default arrow cursor.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for cursor theme previews and cursor reset behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compositor now resets absent or invalid cursor types to "arrow". The cursor theme picker now displays both arrow and pointer assets when they differ, with asset-resolution, rendering, layout, and regression tests.

Reset absent cursor types to arrow

CursorTrack::load records "arrow" for null, absent, empty, and non-string cursorType values. A regression test validates the pointer-to-arrow reset.

themePickerPreviewAssets resolves arrow and optional pointer assets. CursorPane renders both assets when they differ, with centered spacing and size adjustments. Tests cover asset selection and theme rendering.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies the coding objectives in [#557]: null or omitted cursor types reset to the arrow state, a regression test covers the omitted type transition, and the theme picker displays distinct arrow and pointer artwork.

🟡 Changes recommended

A newly added test can still pass even if the target theme is missing, weakening the intended coverage for the new preview helper.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Fixes cursor-type “stickiness” by treating cursorType: null or an omitted cursorType key in cursor sidecar samples as an explicit reset to "arrow", and improves the cursor theme picker so themes with distinct arrow/pointer artwork preview both sprites.

Changes:

  • Compositor: interpret cursorType null/absent as "arrow" and add a regression test for the reset behavior.
  • UI: update cursor theme picker cells to optionally render both arrow + pointer preview images when they differ.
  • Tests: add unit coverage for theme preview asset selection and a lightweight render test for the CursorPane picker.

src/lib/cursor/cursorThemes.test.ts Adds unit tests for themePickerPreviewAssets() behavior.
