Mouse cursor confined and shifting area when stream (4K) exceeds native (1440p) with 200% scaling #137
Description
What happened?
Description:
When using OpenNow on a 1440p monitor with a 200% scaling factor (HiDPI), the cursor becomes confined to a restricted rectangular zone that is smaller than the window. This happens specifically when the stream resolution is set to 4K (3840x2160) while the monitor is 1440p.
Key Findings:
Constraint area shift: The boundary of the cursor's movement is not static; it shifts its position within the window depending on which side of the screen is clicked first.
Scaling conflict: With 200% scaling active on Gnome/Niri, the 4K stream seems to miscalculate the pointer constraints relative to the 1440p physical display.
Visuals: The cursor appears very small, suggesting the application is rendering the cursor at 4K scale without accounting for the compositor's downscaling to 1440p.
Environment:
OS: CachyOS (Wayland)
Compositors: Gnome and Niri (Consistent behavior on both)
Display: 1440p at 120Hz (System preference)
Scaling: 200%
Stream settings: 4K at 240Hz
App state: Fullscreen
Steps to reproduce:
Set system scaling to 200% on a 1800p monitor.
Launch OpenNow in fullscreen with 4K or more stream settings.
Start BF6 / Silksong but probably any other games .
Observe the cursor being trapped in a sub-rectangle of the screen.
