            Bug ID: 439927
           Summary: Breeze Cursor won't use Scroll icon when pressed
           Product: Breeze
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: task
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Icons
          Assignee: visual-design at kde.org
          Reporter: xenoidaltu at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

On Firefox we enable Smooth Scroll. We press the middle button of our mouse, a
circular icon shows up letting us know we can now scroll around. 
-----
Dolphin File Manager lacks this feature so I made a Xorg Configuration.

1) First I installed Xinput from Debian repos

2) I created file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

3) Inside the file I used this:
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "ScrollMethod" "button"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection


=====
Everything works with the exception of the icon that shows up everytime we
press the middle button. This icon no longer shows up on Firefox, Chromium,
Falkon, etc.

This has led me to believe that we must configure the Breeze Cursor Theme.

Plasma's Breeze Cursor theme has an icon labeled "all-scroll" that should show
up when pressing the middle button, maybe we need to use another word or a set
of numbers.

I theorize this because I've seen this behavior with Oxygen Cursor Themes where
"size_bdiag" and "size_fdiag" revert back to Plasma's default Breeze Cursor
"size_bdiag" and "size_fdiag". This happens because Oxygen Cursor Themes were
made for KDE4 and lack certain name tagging. 
This is fixed by adding "ne_resize", "sw_resize", "nw_resize", "se_resize" to
"size_bdiag" and "size_fdiag".

Years ago when I was learning about this issue I came accross a Github page
that had all possible names/numbers of Xcursor themes.

Dolphin on KDE5 lacks Xcursor previews. Xcursor-Viewer needs to be installed to
view Cursor themes.
