Tiny cursor on my HiDPI display on GNOME Wayland with Flatpak Heroic Games Launcher

[dariox86]

Describe the bug

On my HiDPI display set at 200% scaling, the cursor shrinks when hovering on Flatpak Heroic Games Launcher in GNOME Wayland. Heroic Games Launcher is started in Wayland mode using the parameters to avoid XWayland.

Add logs

I think no logs are necessary. The issue can be easily reproduced.

Steps to reproduce

On GNOME Wayland with scaling set at 200% on a HiDPI display, launch Flatpak Heroic Games Launcher with the following command:
$ flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=heroic-run --file-forwarding com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --ozone-platform-hint=auto --disable-features=WaylandFractionalScaleV1

The cursor becomes tiny when hovering Heroic Games Launcher.

Expected behavior

The cursor should stay the same size as when it is not hovering Heroic Games Launcher.

Additional information

The problem goes away after issuing the following command:

$ flatpak --user override --env=XCURSOR_PATH=/run/host/user-share/icons:/run/host/share/icons com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

I think this bug report and the related commit are relevant.

Steam has the same permission mentioned in the bug report.

I think this is not Heroic related but an upstream Chromium bug introduced in 116 and ported to Electron: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1477948&q=cursor%20wayland&can=2

I imagine we have to close this since we can't really do anything. Eventually chromium will fix that, then electron, then we'll update the electron version, but we have no control over when the fix will actually happen.

For those who are looking for solution for X11 as well.
ocs-url (Pling, i.e. Gnome Look, Xfce Look, KDE Store etc) installs cursors into ~/.icons, but Flatpak is looking for them in ~/.local/share/icons. So just move or copy folders from ~/.icons to ~/.local/share/icons.
