Chrome Mouse Cursor Flickering no Input Pixelated -- Help Request HT-226F-R9KY-CP8C
Brief Description:
1. Right clicking in browser causes a sort of "z-fighting" between the Steam cursor and the Chrome cursor.
2. Left clicking some input fields results in the cursor flickering and no inputs being sent.
3. The Chrome cursor is obnoxiously large and pixelated.

Steps Taken to Reproduce:
1. Install Chrome in game mode using the default option in the "non steam" tab. My non steam tab was empty before installing Google Chrome this way.
2. Launch Chrome from game mode. Right click anywhere on screen - you should see the cursor flickering between 2 different styles.
3. Navigate to chrome settings >> Appearance. Try left clicking on the "Mode" option - you should see your cursor flickering and no input being sent. Occasionally an input will go through.

Additional Information:
- Link to a video showcasing the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZsXJ8UjdRI
- I factory reset my deck shortly before encountering this issue. Before the reset, Chrome worked fine and the cursor was smaller and less grainy. I last reset my deck nearly a year ago.
- Link to a discussion with a similar problem created almost a year ago: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/0/4029096129893561738/
- The big, pixelated cursor seems to be an issue with most non-steam games that display a cursor, but Chrome is the only one I've found with input issues.

Thanks for the help :)

Edit 1:
For anyone having the same problems, I hate to say it but Microsoft Edge has been the best alternative to Chrome from my testing. The cursor is still big, but the browser performs well, the picture is crisp, there are no input issues, and it has good plugins. Give it the same launch options as the default Chrome ("--window-size=1024,640", "--force-device-scale-factor=1.25", "--device-scale-factor=1.25") and you'll be OK. I'll be using it until they get this whole cursor issue sorted out.

A couple more things:

- Link to Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1glxdey/game_mode_no_input_for_cursor_in_chrome_cursor_is/

- The cursor its defaulting to in game mode is the Adwaita style, even though the Breeze style is the system default. Apparently, Adwaita is the default style of "GNOME-based Linux distributions". I think there is a conflict between GNOME defaulting to adwaita and steam os, resulting in the adwaita cursor showing up at a scale to match the size of the steam os cursor, which is why its grainy, and steam input taking over whenever you perform an action like a right click causing the steam os cursor to appear. Just a guess, and I don't really have an idea why inputs aren't registering for dropdown menus and the like.

- The video just shows chrome, but the adwaita cursor has appeared on every browser compatable with emudeck cloud services except for Firefox, which still has its own major issues in game mode. (Firefox for some reason just has the regular Steam OS cursor).
Here is another post about essentially the same problem:

There seem to be alot of cursor issues actually especially with the recent update - they're dissapearing, moving by themselves, and of course, they ugly. I wonder if this is just something inherently finnicky for the devs.
