Describe the Bug
Cursor crashes randomly every several minutes. Seemingly randomly, sometimes I am just moving my mouse over the window and sometimes it is mid typing.
Super frustrating.
Happens everyday, I have noticed on two of my PCs. Both run Sway window manager and debian 12.
I have noticed this issue since 1.2.2 and possibly earlier. Still an issue with
Might have started happening after an update 1.2.2 or one of the prior updates or a debian apt update
It wasnt an issue ~2 months ago. Worse of all today. Crashing every ~10 minutes
