Description
Karousel version: 0.14
Plasma version: 6.4.5
X11 / Wayland: X11 (Wayland not tested)
Description:
When Cursor follows focus is enabled and when resizing a column using the mouse, it sometimes instantly shrinks by a large amount.
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable Cursor follows focus
- Open a window
- Start resizing it using the mouse from the right edge of the window
- Drag the mouse to the right, trying to increase the size
- The window shrinks instead, by a lot
Due to this issue, I've marked the Cursor follows focus setting as experimental for now.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce on Karousel 0.14 with Plasma 6.4.5 under X11, enabling “Cursor follows focus” and dragging the right edge during a resize; trace the mouse-resize and focus-handling entry points. Done means dragging right reliably increases the window size without an unexpected large shrink.
