Mouse cursor changing when over some apps when using Wayland

As seen in [this](https://imgur.com/a/D8LFLWV) video, my mouse cursor theme changes to what looks like a default theme when it hovers over some apps. How do I fix this? It should be noted that the issue does not occur on X11, only on Wayland.

- OS: Arch Linux
- DE: KDE Plasma v5.27.5, Wayland
- App in the example is Minecraft installed as a Flatpak. The issue persists in both fullscreen and windowed.

EDIT 1: I have since tested the AUR version of the Minecraft Launcher, and it also has the same issue, so it doesn't appear to be a Flatpak issue.

EDIT 2: A workaround was found as follows:
1. Edit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
2. Replace Inherits=Adwaita with Inherits=breeze_cursors
