In LEAP 16, Firefox has big black borders - NEW

In the topic In LEAP 16, Firefox has big black borders no resolution seems to have been offered for the black border issue with applications like Firefox and Thunderbird.

For those still looking, I seem to have discovered the solution - my installation was still on Plasma (X11). Changing to Plasma (Wayland) immediately resolved the problem…

When I change to Weyland, my mouse cursor disappears. I am runninig on a Mac inside of Parallels.

Parallels is one of these paid products which do not support wayland. So no Leap issue.

My setup is aarch64 in a VirtualBox on a MacBook Pro M4 - no problems with Wayland there, either Leap 16 or Fedora 43.

Why should Parallels not support Wayland? Parallels is not the client OS, which is where Wayland is running.

I posted this on the Parallels forum. Parallels does support Wayland.

@jarome perhaps @ggardet_arm can provide input as to whether your setup is supported…

Is there some user setting in Wayland that might cause the cursor to disappear?

This is likely Black borders around client-side decorated windows when toggling compositing (#5183) · Issues · GNOME / gtk · GitLab which has no resolution upstream yet.

I use KDE, not Gnome

This thread is about a black border issue. You jumped on this thread with a seemingly unrelated cursor issue.

In cases where your symptoms are different from the TO’s, better open another thread to not mix stuff up.

Yes, this affects KDE as well. Read the first line of the bug report which points to
