Turns out I already reported this on the GNOME gitlab a while back but have had no reply. I've updated it with the new information I've learned. Here is the link: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/issues/865
I've looked at the commit but it's not immediately obvious to me why it isn't working or if it is even related to this commit. But I'll look it it more over the weekend. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues #865 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/865 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831144 Title: GNOME control center UI does not update dconf setting for magnifier mouse tracking m ode Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If you attempt to change the mouse cursor tracking mode in the gnome control centre UI for the gnome magnifier the radio buttons have no effect. If yous use dconf-editor to manual change the option at: org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier.mouse-tracking the setting will have an effect. To reproduce * Open gnome control centre and select universal access. * Click on Zoom. * Toggle between "Keep the mouse cursor centred" and the other two options (proportional and push). * If you enable Zoom and change these settings they have no effect. * Open dconf-editor. * Navigate to: org/gnome/desktop/a11y/magnifier/ * Select the mouse tracking entry and change the setting to different values while the Zoom is enabled. The setting will change the way the mouse tracking behaves.
