Description
Describe the bug
Even after applying a bigger size to my mouse, it always becomes a teensy tiny dot when I zoom in on my desktop. Often times, I am left guessing where it went or zoom out entirely to find it again. Because sometimes, the mouse seems to actually shrink.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enable plugin zoom
- Do zoom in
- Cursor does not zoom - and sometimes it even shrinks.
Expected behavior
I expected the zoom to either keep the incrased pointer size, or even zoom it in, which I wouldn't mind either.
Screenshots or stacktrace
After waking my MacBook from sleep and zooming in and out whilst pointing my phone at it didn't make it shrink the cursor. I guess it felt like behaving... Anyway, this is what it looks like zoomed in. Its smol.
Wayfire version
0.7.2, package via chaotic-aur on Garuda
