Dear Maintainer,

Cursor becomes oversized when Terminus is open.

Environment:

Wayfire 0.10.0-1+b1

wlroots 0.19.3

GTK 4.24.1+ds-1

VTE GTK4 0.84.1-1+b1


Steps to reproduce:

Start a Wayfire session.

Launch Terminus in normal window mode or Guake mode.

Observe the mouse pointer.

Expected behavior:

The mouse pointer should retain its configured size.

Actual behavior:

The mouse pointer becomes oversized whenever Terminus is open, in both normal and Guake modes.

This issue does not occur with other apps such as Foot, Xfce4-terminal, Terminator, Chromium, Mousepad, Thunar... under Wayfire. It also does not occur with Terminus under Labwc.

Starting Terminus after setting XCURSOR_SIZE=24 does not resolve the issue.

Could this be related to Terminus' GTK4/Wayland cursor handling?
