Oh no. It's true: The mouse cursor image on Wayland is delayed by one frame. 😭

Proof: mort.coffee/home/wayland-input

Great explaination by @linaAsahi Lina (朝日リナ) 🩵 3D Yuri Wedding 2026!!!: lobste.rs/s/oxtwre/hard_number

A failed attempt to fix this in @gnome: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/

It sounds like there is going to be a new kernel API that would allow updating the cursor independently and therefore earlier, but I couldn't find anything about that.
