Expected Behavior

I expect obs studio to just use my system mouse.

Current Behavior

OBS seems to replace my system mouse when I hover over the window for some reason.

• The mouse is scaled in size by what seems to be about 3 times
• My mouse cursor theme is removed and reverted back to the stock gnome theme

IMG_9484.mp4

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open OBS studio
2. hover the mouse over OBS and observe that it is different than what it should be

Anything else we should know?

AMD RX 6600
Gnome Wayland on Arch Linux
Pipewire

We dont generally maintain the cursor state, so you should probably instead file a bug to Qt that they dont choose what you expect given your gnome theme settings. I doubt there is anything for us to do but ill leave this bug open for now.

Same bug here #6400
I don't know why it happens, I have this bug since months..... the workaround is to run obs with XCURSOR_SIZE=24 obs
So if you modify your .desktop file, for example sudo nano /usr/share/applications/com.obsproject.Studio.desktop and the Exec line like this:
Exec=env XCURSOR_SIZE=24 obs
to make it permanent

Maybe an archlinux packaging bug(?)... I reported here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74598

This is likely https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67579 which would be fixed in Qt 6.4.2 or 6.5.0.
This should be fixed once we update to either of those versions (OBS 29 will only be 6.4.1 though).

As an aside, we don't maintain the package this was reported against. It looks like Arch Linux is now using Qt 6.4.3, so this might be fixed in new installs of the package. If this happens in our Flatpak builds, then we can control when Qt is updated for those. This should be fixed in OBS Studio 29.1 (currently in beta) Flatpak builds, which use Qt 6.4.3.
