Two image of the same firefox window with two position of the arrow pointer

I have an updated installation of mageia 6 stable (today is stable, good work guy!) and The arrow pointer is red on some windows, black in other or in the drag bar of the windows. See image attachment for the pointer on firefox's window.

Expected result: the same arrow pointer an all windows and all parts of windows. In particular on firefox.

Which desktop environment and which theme do you use, Sandro?

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

Tank you for the replay.

I use KDE and I have try different theme and now I have set the default but the result is the same: firefox and calc has the small little arrow red at boot time. If I change the arrow theme the change take effect but when I restart the bug remain.

So the work around is to change the pointer theme after the boot time.
Comment 3 Sandro kensan 2017-07-17 23:52:31 CEST
Now it is my system settings:

 Cursor theme: oxygen black
 Desktop theme: Air
 Look and feel: oxygen
 Splash screen: oxygen

And the red pointer in ff and calc remain at boot time.
Comment 4 Sandro kensan 2017-09-01 16:49:47 CEST
Resolved with a workaround:

I have setted:

/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme

[Icon Theme]
Name = Oxygen Black
Comment = Default icon theme.(Oxygen mouse theme. Oxygenize your desktop!)
Inherits = Oxygen_Black

instead of:
Inherits=wonderland

And I have renamed the directory:

mv /usr/share/icons/handhelds /usr/share/icons/handhelds_orig

handhelds is the cursor theme in the pics (see attachment).

Comment 5 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-05 16:02:05 CEST
This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
