Bug ID: 488341
Summary: Cursor wiggle gesture has no upper limit on cursor
zooming
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.1
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: l...@ikamusu.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Jiggling the cursor on Plasma 6.1 makes it expand in size so it's easier to
find. It grows the longer you wiggle the mouse, but there is no upper limit to
the size the cursor can grow. In real world testing I have managed to make the
cursor fill an entire screen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rotate mouse in a circle over and over
2. Cursor expands in size
3. Continue to rotate the mouse in a circle
4. Cursor expands forever, does not have an upper limit,
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor expands in size to the point that it covers the entire screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor expands in size and stops before it becomes unusably large.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Gentoo Linux 2.15
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.90 (Watermark on wallpaper says "6.1 Beta")
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This feature does cause usability issues. The reason I found it was I was
making a circular motion, forcing my file picker portal to load thumbnails
while I was scrolling, and the cursor eventually got to the point that I could
not even tell where my mouse was actually pointing. When you let the cursor get
large, it takes a bit of time for it to go back to a usable size.
