** 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.
