** 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.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The "Desktop Zoom" accessibility feature loses track of the mouse
  cursor when using the following settings:

  - 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

  The patch only affects the zoom effect and will not have side-effects
