I don't know if there is a larger issue because this show stopping "outlier" has stopped me from exploring Flutter any further. I'll give it another try now that a new major version has been released.

The question in my mind is whether Flutter is consistently and significantly more resource efficient than web technologies for my particular use cases.

Hey there. I'm an engineer working on Flutter Desktop. We're definitely aware of the macOS cursor behaviour issue and are looking at ways we can fix it. We haven't landed anything (that I'm aware of) that should improve this for 3.0, but if it helps, it's something that's actively on our radar and we've discussed potential fixes for. One potential solution is to implement a custom shader [1].

While I understand this may be a dealbreaker issue for your use-case, we've been pretty busy getting a few higher-priority (overall) issues fixed (universal binary support, CJK text input, key event APIs, etc.) prior to 3.0, but we'll get to this.
