Bug ID: 446234
Summary: KDE Accessibility Zoom Mouse Tracking Resets
Product: kwin
Version: 5.21.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: andrew.loe...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
The Zoom accessibility tool is critical to my ability to use KDE (and similar
tools for any OS). In System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects >
Accessibility > zoom (settings) there is an option for "mouse tracking". The
only option I ever use is "Push". At least once a day, and sometimes a couple
times daily, the mouse tracking behavior resets to "proportional" which is
jarring. Looking at the settings when this occurs, the 'mouse tracking' option
still says "Push". I need to apply a different settings like "centered" or
"proportional", then go back into the settings and apply "Push" for the
behavior to be fixed.
If there are specific logs I can provide to help resolve this, I'd be happy
to... I just don't know what / where they are. The issue does not occur
consistently. It seems to primarily (only??) appear when moving my mouse down
to the taskbar or lower-left corner of the screen, but it does not happen every
time. I have my Zoom Factor at 1.2, and am usually zoomed in 6x at that factor.
Mouse Pointer is set to "scale" and "Enable Focus Tracking" is off.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Zoom effect with Zoom Factor 1.2 and 6x zoom with mouse tracking "Push"
2. Move mouse to taskbar, hover over taskbar icons, or lower left corner
"Application Launcher"
OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse tracking will occasionally change to "proportional" although the mouse
tracking setting remains "push". To fix this, the mouse tracking setting must
be set to something other than "push", applied, and then "push" must be chosen
again with the setting re-applied.
EXPECTED RESULT
When Zoom mouse tracking is set to "Push" it should remain "Push" with the push
behavior unless the user intentionally changes it to something like
"proportional".
