Sam Lantinga 5a6f4d4051 Fixed bug 2485 - [PATCH] Wayland: cursor disappears permanently after window loses mouse focus
Bryan Cain

Using any SDL application with the Wayland backend under Weston, if the application sets a cursor with SDL_SetCursor, the cursor will work until the mouse pointer leaves the window.  When the pointer re-enters the window, there will be no cursor displayed at all.

I did some digging, and the reason for this is that SDL attaches the buffer to the cursor surface only once (during cursor creation) and assumes that it will stay attached.  This is not how Wayland works, though - once the compositor is done rendering the buffer, it will release it, so it is no longer attached to the surface.  When the cursor re-enters the window a second time, SDL sets the cursor to the same surface with no buffer attached, so no cursor is displayed.

This is fixed by the attached patch, which makes SDL attach the buffer to the surface when the cursor is set, not when it is created.

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
and many Humble Bundle games.

SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Support for other platforms may be found in the source code.

SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings 
available for several other languages, including C# and Python.

This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found
in the file "COPYING.txt".

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
