User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060503 Firefox/1.5.0.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060503 Firefox/1.5.0.3 When using a custom mouse cursor (for example gentoo-silver or Bluecurve), the mouse cursor changes back to the default small black arrow pointer whenever the mouse is inside the firefox window. As soon as the cursor leaves the firefox window the correct size and theme are used. It seems the firefox is ignoring cursor settings (Xcursor.theme, Xcursor.size)specified in the .Xdefaults file. However, firefox does indeed follow the cursor specified in ~/.icons/default/index.theme, but there is no option (that I've been able to find) in index.theme to scale the cursor to a specific size. So while setting index.theme to the desired cursor I want to use allows for the cursor theme to be preserved while inside the firefox window, the mouse pointer still shrinks back to the default scale when inside the window. This problem didn't happen before 1.5 series. It also happens on the current relase of thunderbird. I'm using xorg-x11-6.8.2 if that's of any importance. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Specify a custom cursor theme or size -- for example add 'Xcursor.size: 48' to ~/.Xdefaults file or if using kde add 'cursorSize=48' to ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals (since it overides .Xdefaults) 2. Move cursor into firefox window. Actual Results: The cursor will change size when inside the firefox window. (The theme will also change if it isn't also specified in ~/.icons/default/index.theme) Expected Results: The cursor should stay the same size when it enters the firefox window. I'm running gentoo, but I've found others using ubuntu that are having the same problem here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75474.html
Added note: It seems that you can't scale the default X cursors, so when tring to reproduce this, you also have to use another cursor theme that supports scaling as well.
