    Hi, I am new to Inkscape and have failed to find out how to enlarge the tiny mouse cursor on the canvas.

    if possible to do so, should be in edit menu --> preferences --> interface

    Tiny mouse cursor? Mine is the same size in every app. In Inkscape Preferences->Interface is an entry ->Mouse cursors: "Enable scaling" - but I donΒ΄t know what itΒ΄s for.

    Thank you, 'Enable scaling' is ticked but doesn't seem to have any effect on the cursor size.

    After lots of searching on the web I have found that this is a common problem and has been for some time and we may be waiting for a fix.
    I may try and older version.

    Might be an OS specific case. CanΒ΄t recreate on macOS.

    Turning scaling on/off is working here in Windows 11, Inkscape 1.3.2.

    Thanks Aero, I think I tried that but will have another look at it.

    It's all working fine now in Linux.
