Why is this?

Wayland has never worked 100% with KDE right from its first
introduction with Fedora
where KDE users were quite validly recommending
to not use Wayland as it didn't work properly with KDE (Gnome was a
different story), and there are still things in Wayland that don't work
properly with KDE, that annoy me, which is why I've gone back to X11

Please, do not start this discussion again.

Sorry, I'm not trying to rant about Wayland, I was just stating facts on why I have stayed on X11 in KDE and for that matter in Gnome.
But on the topic of issues, if I switch back to Wayland and the issues that I've experienced with Wayland are still present, how do I get them addressed?

      Filing bug reports in the KDE Bugzilla[1] helps a lot here.

If you haven't tried recently, there's been a lot of investment in
net-new functionality in KDE Plasma 6.3 and there will be even more
coming in 6.4 (which you can try through our beta COPR[2] or through a
nightly Rawhide image[3]).

Thanks Neal. I'm on Plasma 6.3.5 and I've just tried Wayland (I'm composing this email from Wayland) and one of the issues I had seems to have been rectified, but the other issue is now worse. I had an issue where I had the mouse pointer movement speed set up the way I wanted under X11, but when I used Wayland it seemed to ignore those settings and did its own thing, the movement speed was too fast. Now it has gone the reverse and the mouse pointer movement is now stuttery and if I open the KDE Throbber the mouse pointer stops moving completely. I'll look at filing a bug report on this.

    regards,

    Steve
