Bug#1101912: gnome: Cursor size does not respect display scaling when hovering over wayland application windows

Package: gnome
Version: 1:47+6
Severity: normal

After upgrading some Gnome components to version 48 on latest trixie, 
the size
of cursor seems to no longer respect scaling preferences when hovering over
wayland applicaiton windows.

I use one monitor with 200% display scaling. After the update, whenever my
cursor is over a Wayland application, the cursor shrinks to its size at 100%
display scaling. The same does not happen if I hover my cursor over the 
dock,
desktop, top bar, or any XWayland application.
