Hi list, 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:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-shell (component magnifier) > OK, i will report what i think is a bug when i get the time. Please do. It is really useful to learn about any problems people might be experiencing when they use the magnifier since 3,10. Feel free to take a look at some of the magnifier bugs already listed too if you get a chance. >>> So, is there any way to disable this "auto-focus" feature? >> 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 >> > Thanks I hold my hand up to this (sorry Alejandro, I had not yet read through your post the first time around when I answered this thread so I had missed that) The reason the ui implementation is not in yet is probably because I have not done it and, (sorry, but...) the reason I have not done this, is because I aim to see to it that current problems I have found are fixed before adding settings to the gui essentially because I think the current problems are significant enough to make them seem more urgent than integrating f/c tracking into the ui. That said, this thread has raised an important point that I may have overlooked before so, I am not sure of the best way to proceed now. I have no idea if others have already begun working on the ui since I put it down, or not but (maybe wrong in) assuming nobody has done so here, I think it may be useful if I indicate what I think the possibilities are from my perspective, in the now: 1. I could reset the defaults for focus and caret tracking to 'none' by default and attach the patch to a bug until the issues I am working on have made progress. 2. I could put resume with control center ui and submit a patch so the feature is complete albeit a bit buggier than when it was when it landed.(note: I have no idea what the design team are currently cooking up for g-c-c as I say this but last time I checked, I got the impression they would be taking the lead on deciding what goes where etc - more than happy to let them do their thing but suspect I would need to find out what it is to make the f/c settings work underneath :-)) 3. The ui is under control or otherwise and I carry on as before. As always, I am happy be guided by well reasoned advice, comments and/or suggestions about this work either on this list or IRC and I hope that this has been able to clarify.
