Bug Description
On install of Elementary OS Loki (Stable Release), my resolution is 1920x1080 because the nouveau drivers are enabled by default. So everything looks rather large on my 2560x1440 monitor as the image is being stretched. After successful installation, I install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers (nvidia-361) and reboot. After boot I am at 2560x1440 but the mouse cursor is still just as big as it was when I was at 1920x1080. The cursor remains huge unless you hover it over the Files app for example, if you put the cursor in the white part of the window of the Files app the cursor changes size back to a normal size, but when you move it onto either the desktop or the top bar of the window of the Files app it changes back to the huge size. Not all apps do this though, the Web app keeps the huge cursor no matter where you put it.
I already tried using the "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" command and have tried using Dconf-editor to change the cursor size but it doesn't seem to make a difference for the size of the cursor. I have also tried adjusting the resolution to see if it made a change in the cursor size and it didn't make a difference, the cursor is still huge.
I attached an image shot from my phone showing the cursor next to the text of the terminal app. I used the Screenshot app at first, but the picture it produces shows the cursor as the right size (which it isn't). Because of that, I had to use a photo from my phone in order to show what's going on.
I have the same problem.
My working resolution is 3840x2160. Using Nvidia GTX 960 (and nvidia drivers).
Funny thing: the mouse cursor also changes to normal in non-elementary native applications like Vivaldi and Libre Office (calc, writer, does not matter).
