Package: alacritty
Version: 0.13.2-4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

After running an apt upgrade, I moved from 0.13.2-2+b4 to 0.13.2-4.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
  ineffective)?

Using the mouse with alacritty seems to behave in an unexpected manner
now. In particular the cursor seems to seems to get stuck in an
inconsistent state. While moving the cursor to the corner of the
window to resize, the cursor remains in the pointer state rather than
switching to some kind of resizer state. The windows of other
applications are behaving as expected and the issue seems specific to
alacritty.

Even though the cursor doesn't update as expected, resizing still
works properly.
