SUMMARY

Mouse cursor has visual noise in the form of some black pixels appearing around
it, which makes it look like "pixelated" or low resolution. This behaviour is
enhanced when using a lower or bigger scale in screen config, but it is still
present less evidently when using the full 100% scale (I figured that using a
90% scale with the resolutions available for my laptop was the better fit, but
it resulted in the cursor having this issue enhanced).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a screen scale of 100% or lower/bigger, using Breeze, Breeze light or
Breeze (Plasma 5) cursor themes.

OBSERVED RESULT

In the case of 100% scale, the cursor gets pixels on the exterior lower border.
In the case of less than or greater than 100% scale, the cursor gets pixels
scattered around the exterior border all around.

EXPECTED RESULT

Cursor border is slick in any screen scale and doesn't have pixels around it.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Tested only on wayland using the mentioned cursor themes.
The pixels don't appear when taking a screenshot including the cursor.
