Cursor theme doesn’t render correctly on few applications. The application in the video is `ungoogled-chromium-bin` version 138.0.7204.168-1 from arch repositories. the cursor theme appears only when mouse\_1 button is down on only that specific menu button. i noticed in another app a while ago which i can’t remember right now that cursor theme doesn’t work. i have my hyprcursor and xcursor variables setup correctly as per docs. What could be the reason? is this an issue with the chromium application? if so, any workarounds?  
Please see the video linked: [https://0x0.st/87cE.mp4](https://0x0.st/87cE.mp4)

Because you are running it in xwayland for some god-forsaken reason :)
