Description

So, using the Google Chrome flatpak (I should note I also see this happening with the Chromium flatpak) on Fedora Kinoite (35/updates), when you click on the "three dot menu" or main menu at the top right, the cursor changes to the Adwaita cursor from my current cursor theme ("Breeze Light"). The flatpak seems to have access to the mouse cursor directory, as I have had issues with other apps not using custom cursors and done the override for ~/.icons and fixed it, but the cursor in Chrome is fine 99.9% of the time, but if you click on that menu it switches back to Adwaita. If you move the cursor after clicking, it swaps back to the Breeze Light cursor, same thing if you click again.

Not a huge dealbreaker, but perhaps this went unnoticed because I'd imagine many of those using Fedora for example and Flatpak in general might be on GNOME using the default cursor theme.

I've included a screenshot, because hey why not?

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce it with the Google Chrome or Chromium Flatpak on Fedora Kinoite using a non-default cursor theme, then investigate the main-menu cursor behavior and verify that clicking the three-dot menu no longer briefly switches to Adwaita.
