Im running gnome 47. Does anyone know how to fix the mouse pointer / cursor becoming enlarged when using GTK apps? Its a weird quirk. I’ve checked Accessibility in settings and there is nothing turned on that would cause this functionality. Scaling is also not causing this. If anyone knows how to resolve this it would be greatly appreciated. I uploaded the issue here: [EndeavourOS Mouse Issue](https://youtu.be/N1lLbv92_e0) ---

For anyone else having this same issue I’ve figured out that it’s a GTK4 issue with the Qogir cursor. You need to switch cursors or install any other cursor and the issue is resolved. ---

I had a similar issue with breeze cursor. But only on the external monitor if is set verticaly on GKT apps. I also solved switching to the adwaita default cursor.
