The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?
Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn’t justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

Its a feature. If you shake it, it enlarges.
It seems you shake your mouse a lot?
You can disable it in the settings
This, I keep explaining to my wife in the bedroom, but it seems I’ll never get that kind of accessibility from her.
Dude XD
This actually isn’t a bug, it’s a KDE feature (literally). It’s so you can shake your mouse to find it. Here’s more detail, but basically to disable:

A thousand thanks! I don’t know why it was on by default, I find it quite annoying.
So is Mac os
Yeah before you only had the “show cursor” kwin effect with 2 circles around it, needing a key combo. This one is way better
It’s quite helpful if you have a big monitor and play games that have textures similar to the cursor colors. On Gnome it’s available as an extension (Wiggle)
That’s definitely not a bug. Plasma 6.1 introduced an accessibility feature, that helps you find the cursor easier if you shake it for a bit
Lol
I thought there was a scaling issue when I first installed. Now that I’ve discovered it’s a feature, I love it!
