Wayland: cursor not tracked in capture (discard_cursor_telemetry), cursor-highlight degraded #94
Reported on v1.7.0-rc.1, Linux Wayland, Intel iGPU.
Symptoms
discard_cursor_telemetry error during capture; cursor metadata is dropped.
Assessment
Wayland restricts global cursor tracking by design (clients can't read the pointer position outside their own surfaces), so the capturer discards cursor telemetry. This is a platform limitation affecting the cursor-highlight feature, not a command-line flag fix.
Options
Graceful degrade: detect Wayland and disable/hide cursor-highlight rather than erroring.
Investigate whether the PipeWire portal exposes cursor mode (embedded/metadata/hidden) we can request via the capture constraints.
