Large mouse cursor (scaled to 48px) when using >200% display scaling
The desktop mouse cursor becomes large when using Firefox with >200% display scaling. It doesn't matter if it's 250% or 300%, the result is the same. My system configuration is as follows:
Opensuse Tumbleweed (up-to-date) Firefox 112.0.2 64bit KDE Plasma running Wayland
I've included 2 screenshots that show the difference in the mouse pointer size when outside of a Firefox window and inside it. Also, this issue is only present with Firefox; no other application produces this result. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The problem isn't really resolved, but I will mark this problem as solved since it is a GTK/Wayland issue.
Here is the KDE bug tracker for this issue.

I blame Wayland... ;-) What happens in X11? Let me check what happens in Wayland. Just to verify what are our cursor settings under appearance? see screenshot

I could not replicate the issue in Wayland. What theme are you running? You can also click the Defaults button as a test.

Thanks for the reply!
I was writing this lengthy reply when I decided to test a GTK application (I don't use them often), and low and behold, the "bug" exists there as well! So, it's definitely a GTK issue. I will mark this as solved since it is not Firefox specific. Back to reddit I go! lol
