I upgraded from Leap15 to Tw Slowroll. For one or another reason the pointer changes to a white block on the Gnome desktop background, while it is a normal black arrow poiner on most app windows like Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird.
Could not fine how to change the pointer in the Gnome control center. Hints how to do it?
@terjejh If you create a test user, login as the test user, does the issue duplicate? If not, then there is likely a config or cache file retaining something from the upgrade in $HOME.
Thanks, yes the behaviour works as it should with a created test user.
With my legacy user logon I can add that attempts to logon with Gnome on Xorg or Cl. Gnome on Xorg fails with “Sorry, something went wrong”. Therefor my logon was pure Gnome. Also Cl. Gnome desktop gets the block cursor, which actually is transparent, light grey or white. (A test with IceWM the works ok with arrow pointer.
I have also tested to update and disable my preferred Gnome shell integration with Dash to Panel in Firefox, but it didn’t change the pointer.
Is there a way to change the system pointer type to arrow? I think I remember there earlier was something inthe Gnome Control center or in YaST Sysconfig Editor?
Alternatively try to copy some part of profile settings etc from the test user?
@terjejh can you disable your shell extensions in your legacy user (I wonder if they did not update…), likewise check the tweak tool settings for cursors, icons, themes etc…
