** Description changed: - What I expect to happen: - After booting up Ubuntu I'd like to be able to just enable desktop zoom using Alt+Super+8. + [ Impact ] - What actually happens: - When I enable desktop zoom after logging in to Ubuntu, it doesn't work. Magnifier zooms in to the top-left portion of my desktop. The mouse pointer disappears and I can no longer move my view around. I can still disable zoom, so apparently it didn't crash. After I go to Settings->Accessibility>Zoom, change some settings and enable zoom it works. When I change the settings back to my preferences it still works. After this the magnifier seems to work without further problems. - I'm experiencing this problem with both xorg and Wayland. + The "Desktop Zoom" accessibility feature loses track of the mouse cursor + when using the following settings: - Some general information: - - My Magnifier settings: - - Magnification: 2.00 - - Magnifier position: - - Screen part: full screen - - Magnifier cursor pushes contents around - - I used gsettings to set caret-tracking and focus-tracking to 'none' - - The setting 'mouse-tracking' is still on 'push´ - - Graphics card: NVidia GeForce GTX 970 - - Graphics driver: Proprietary nvidia-driver-5.15 + - Magnifier position: + - Screen part: full screen + - Magnifier cursor pushes contents around + - 'caret-tracking' and 'focus-tracking' set to 'none' + When that happens, the cursor is not visible and the zoomed view does + not move with the mouse. + + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Configure the zoom feature with: + $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier mouse-tracking push + $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier caret-tracking none + $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier focus-tracking none + 2. Log out and log back in + 3. Enable the desktop zoom effect with Super+Alt+8 + 4. Move the mouse cursor from one edge of the desktop to the other + 5. Verify that the cursor is still visible and that the zoomed view moves when the cursor is moved to the edges. + + + To reset the zoom feature configurations to the default you may run: + $ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier mouse-tracking + $ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier caret-tracking + $ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier focus-tracking + + + [ Regression Test Plan ] + + 1. Reset the desktop zoom configuration to the default, as above + 2. Enable the desktop zoom effect with Super+Alt+8 + 3. Verify that the zoomed view moves together with the cursor + + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + The patch only affects the zoom effect and will not have side-effects on + other uses of the desktop. When using the zoom effect problems may + manifest with incorrectly tracking the mouse position. + + --- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: gnome-shell 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-48.54-generic 5.15.53 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-48-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Sep 27 18:44:56 2022 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-09-26 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20220809.1) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 42.2-0ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
