Steps to reproduce
Open any window in Obsidian, doesn’t matter if it’s the vault selector or the main notes window.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?
Yes, and the problem is reproducible in the sandbox vault.
Expected result
The cursor should be the size that is configured in GNOME system settings, like in other apps.
Actual result
The cursor is extremely small in the Obsidian window, even smaller than the smallest size option in GNOME settings.
