Cursor becomes invisible in VLC's video area when opening a modal dialog in VLC

Issue

  1. Open VLC
  2. Open a video and pause it
  3. Select: Media --> Open Media or --> Open Directory
  4. Hover the mouse over the VLC main window (edit: video area) in the background, not over the modal dialog

Screenshot

Screenshot_VLC_Mouse_Gone The non-closed circles are due to the "Track Mouse" mouse effect of kWin and indicate where the cursor is supposed to be.

Setup

  • Fedora 36 with Gnome 42 Wayland
