Double cursor in Whonix-Workstation

Hey everyone! I’ve detected an issue as double cursor in my Whonix-Workstation machine. When I move my mouse, I see smth like two cursors next to each other . How to fix it and return a normal cursor?

Which virtualizer?

Which version?

I use it in the Oracle VirtualBox 7.1.6 r167084

Whonix stable or testers version?

How can I check it? I see only Whonix-Workstation-Xfce

The downloaded ova file has a version number in its name.

Or Check Version.

(Whonix is based on Kicksecure)

Since when is this happening? How to reproduce? Happens right after installation?

Thanks. Whonix version is 17.2.8.5. I’ve been using Whonix for a week, but today I noticed that issue. When I move a mouse, I see 2 cursors on the screen moving together next to each other.

I used to encounter this issue with Wayland in Kicksecure. Never heard of it in relation to Virtualbox, but this behavior is definitely a well documented qemu bug.

I fixed it by building the latest sway.

what you mean by the latest sway?

haven’t found the solution there

should I send you the logs, right?

Post here briefly step and result.

I ain’t know which step I need to do there. There’re a lot of steps. For ex, why should I do steps to check TOR connection, if TOR works and there’s no my issue

Refer to chapter Introduction.
