Accessibility: Zoom focus shifts #131
Comments
I was able to reproduce this behavior. Screencast.from.03-08-2023.07.16.28.AM.webmOutput of I have also tested this with |
This doesn't have anything to do with pop-shell's "Mouse cursor follows active window" setting, does it? |
I tested with |
Gotcha, thanks for testing that. Sounds like the behavior might be coming from upstream then. |

Issue/Bug Description:
When Zoomed In say at 3X or more. Zoom focus tends to shift away unexpectedly for example in one instance when trying to read notifications placing the cursor to the side of the widget the focus unexpectedly shifts to center of the widget, and this happens without any movement from the cursor.
I suspect this happens when zoomed in such that a widget becomes larger than the size of the screen magnifier automatically tries to direct focus to center of the widget and it has unintended consequences which makes it hard for someone with visual impairment use their system reliably.
Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Some places to observe
Same behavior can be observed in other places like in Settings app, Pop store and more
Expected behavior:
Magnifier focus to remain still until user intentionally moves focus as implied by the setting "magnifier cursor pushes content around"
Other Notes:
I tried disabling magnifier carrat tracking through command line using Gsettings but, it has no effect
