Bug ID: 516435
Summary: Text Caret Tracking is Fixed To Proportional Tracking
and Ignores Preferred Tracking Mode
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

This is an HTML file that contains textareas that spread across the entire web
page.
SUMMARY
Depending on which tracking mode the user is using, the caret tracking feature
is fixed to the proportional tracking mode and proportional tracking mode is
always used while typing and that the magnifier is focused on the insertion
point. For convenience, I have attached an HTML file for use with the Falkon
web browser.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the attached HTML file in Falkon (Ctrl+O and select the downloaded HTML
file).
2. While using different tracking mode such as strict tracking, use the TAB and
Shift+TAB key to navigate between different textareas and start typing in
different textareas.
3. Observe that the screen moves proportionally to the text cursor as if the
proportional mouse tracking feature is used.
4. Repeat with different tracking modes. Set it to disabled and repeat steps 2
and 3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The text caret tracking has a hard link to the proportional tracking mode. It
does not matter if tracking is disabled or set to Center (Strict) mode.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text caret tracking feature should follow which tracking mode is used.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you'd like, I could make a video demonstrating the different tracking modes
and how this affects users who type while using a fullscreen magnifier.
