When the mouse cursor is on a GTK4 window (gnome-text-editor, gnome-weather, gnome-control-center), it becomes bigger than on the other windows, and it doesn’t change when it should (when hovering a text entry, or when hovering the window limit to resize it). I have no problem with GTK3 applications, with GNOME Shell top bar, or with the mutter tooltips when I right-click on an application header bar. I didn’t find any related bug on GNOME’s GitLab, or on Gentoo’s Bugzilla. I’m using the latest ~amd64 versions of ebuilds (gtk 4.6.2, gnome-shell 42.0, mutter 42.0-r1). I can provide more information if needed.
Note that I’m on Wayland, and that all the open windows are Wayland windows.
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

I am experiencing the same problem.
(In reply to Kobboi from comment #3) > I am experiencing the same problem. I tried to talk on IRC, but the people interested in the topic didn’t have the same problem and had no idea about why this is happening. I’ll post a solution here (if I ever find one…).
Same issue here (on wayland FWIW), it looks like gtk4 completely ignores the cursor size setting. It's quite obvious when opening: control-center > "accessibility" > "cursor size". Gtk 3 happily follows the setting (I keep it at "default") Gtk 4 looks like it's stuck on "medium" size It's been like this for a long time, but since I had very few gtk 4 apps, I didn't mind. Now that more are being ported over, it's been an increasing irritation.
This issue may be the same as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4924
I’ve just checked on my computer and the problem is actually fixed for me. It’s probably related to a new version of GTK (I’ve just installed 4.6.5), or gnome-shell (42.2), or mutter (42.2).

Same here, I can no longer reproduce on an up-to-date system.
This is related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/834277, and thus fixed by adwaita-icon-theme-42.0_p2: GTK expects cursors to reside under /usr/share/icons/<theme>/cursor, but Gentoo placed them under /usr/share/cursors. The fallback cursors seem to have a hardcoded size.
I think it is a duplicate of bug 834277 We will stabilize the newer version as it also fixes other regressions and works fine on my systems -> bug 850445 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 834277 ***
