Bug ID: 515409
Summary: Using deskflow for mouse sharing causes cursor to grow
by triggering the shake pointer feature.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.90
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When using deskflow as a client the cursor regularly grows in size, It turns
out that because the cursor positioning being set from the host is not smooth
enough it triggers the Shake Pointer accessibility feature.
Manually disabling the shake cursor feature works around this issue. At best
for the sake of user friendlyness it would probably be best to automatically
disable the shake pointer feature when a remote session is active. At worst
hopefully people stumble upon this bug report when googling the issue and know
to disable the feature
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Deskflow as a client (https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow)
2. Notice that sometimes the cursor grows very large
3. Disable the shake pointer feature and notice the issue stop
OBSERVED RESULT
Shake pointer feature is wrongly enabled
EXPECTED RESULT
Shake pointer feature is not enabled
