Hi Leona, I also have a visual disability, so I understand pretty well your problematic. The disturbing behavior of the magnifier you experience is linked to 2 functionalities : the focus tracking and the caret tracking. Theses functionalities have 4 possible modes : - none - centered (default for caret tracking) - proportional (default for focus tracking) - push How theses settings affects the magnifier view is very well explained here : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708452#c7 .
Unfortunately and surprisingly, you cannot change theses settings in the user interface. You have to do it with command line or a specific software 'dconf-editor'. In my understanding you should try at least to disable the focus tracking, and execute this command in a terminal : gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier focus-tracking none The caret-tracking should logically be fine in centered mode if you want the text cursor to always be in the center of the magnified view. ** Bug watch added: bugzilla.gnome.org/ #708452 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708452 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935083 Title: Universal Access / Magnification / Zoom tracking problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1935083/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
