Chromium changes cursor to a different theme when hovering over it

Reported by ajid...@gmail.com, Apr 25 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In KDE Plasma 5, set a different cursor theme in the system settings -> workspace theme -> cursor theme
2. Move the cursor over Chromium

What is the expected behavior?
The cursor is the same regardless of which application it happens to hover over.

What went wrong?
Chromium for some reason changes the cursor to the one specified system-wide (System Settings->Login Screen->Advanced)

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.81  Channel: stable
OS Version: Arch Linux kernel 4.10.11
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

I use a left-handed cursor as I am left-handed, hence this technically is also an accessibility problem.

What's the behavior in a native GTK app like firefox?

Disregard my earlier message. Firefox changes the cursor too.

Comment 5 by ajid...@gmail.com, Apr 28 2017 

Inkscape, GIMP and pavucontrol do not change the cursor, all three of them are GTK applications.

Comment 6 by ihvarf...@gmail.com, Nov 2 2017 

I was experiencing exactly what is described above and it was because the application I used to change the theme didn't change the GTK 3 settings.ini file (lxappearance). In addition to Chrome and Firefox, Opera also has this issue.

@ajid...@gmail.com - Please check relevant files listed in this article (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_themes#Configuration) and post your findings here.

Indeed, that was the issue. Thanks for the pointer.

Chromium determines which cursor to use from the gtk settings.  It's up to your settings manager to write to the relevant settings files.  I would try filing a bug with the tool you used to change the cursor theme.  Not sure there's much that Chromium can do about this, so closing this issue out.
