Yes this is called focus/caret tracking. It is a feature added on last
release.

Not sure why that's a bug. Anyway, if you think that it is a bug, and
want to elaborate, you can create a new bug following this link:

(component magnifier)

We are still working on a UI to configure it (this is a know bug, and
hopefully will be solved on next stable release). But you can disable
tracking writing the following command on a terminal:

gsettings set 'org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier' 'focus-tracking' none
gsettings set 'org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier' 'caret-tracking' none
