Title:
Ubuntu 23.10, locate pointer not working when animations are disabled
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur), going through the
regular process of settling in with the new features and so forth, I realised
that the 'locate pointer' is not working as expected.
When the focus is on a screen element (like this text field that I am
entering information into) I can press the left ctrl button and the border will
flash around the element/text field/button etcetera.
(I have made a screen cast, if I can I will upload it)
Previously when pressing the left ctrl button the mouse pointer would be
shown with a circular pulsing image (like a something dropping into calm
water).
I have read several forums and have looked specifically how to set the locate
pointer option, I have set it in accessibility->pointing & clicking->Locate
Pointer, also via cli with "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface
locate-pointer true" and using the gnome tweaks gui.
None of these things work.
Ubuntu 23.10,gnome 45, gdm3, acer aspire V 17 nitro black edition
Description: Ubuntu 23.10
Release: 23.10
Not seemingly specific to any 'package' so package version is not relevant.
Expect the mouse pointer to be highlighted instead only the cursor position
is located.
