Hello,
Unfortunatelly I don't know more about magnifier and related functionalitybecause I am completelly blind thus I can take no advantage of it. I have just tried to help you out to find what you were looking for. To better diagnose this we will most likelly need to wait for anyone more knowledgeable to answer.

Thanks and greetings

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help!
I checked the values of focus-tracking and caret-tracking and they were ok.

So I did some more testing and I found out that focus & caret tracking (partially) works with:
- gedit
- the file browser
- the terminal window
- Rythmbox *
- Evolution *

* = caret tracking doesn't work, magnifier scrolls to wrong position when caret moves

However, it doesn't work at all with:
- Firefox
- LibreOffice

Is there any way to enable caret & focus tracking with Firefox and LibreOffice?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Bas

    Hello,
    On my running arch linux system with gnome 3.10 I have looked into
    the file
    /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier.gschema.xml
    From there I can see the schema org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier
    has the following keys:
    mouse-tracking
    focus-tracking
    caret-tracking

    Their possible values include:
    none
    centered
    proportional
    push


    To find out the possible values I have looked into the following
    package:
    
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.10/gsettings-desktop-schemas-3.10.1.tar.xz

    It appears the UI for these settings did not make it into gnome
    3.10 but there are improvements expected for gnome 3.12.

    Greetings

    Peter

    According to the magnifier wiki page [1] focus & caret tracknig
    are in development. However, related issues referenced by this
    page [2, 3] are fixed for some time now. This is a very important
    feature for me, so I tried to activate it with gsettings.
    Unfortunately I'm stuck and I need some help.

    According to the wiki page the following settings control focus &
    caret tracking:
    - Schema:
        org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier
    - Keys:
        track-focus-enabled
        track-focus-mode

    Those keys are not listed when I query my available keys with:

    $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier

    How can I enable focus & caret tracking in the gnome-shell magnifier?

    I'm on Fedora 20 and my gnome-shell is:

    $ rpm -q gnome-shell
    gnome-shell-3.10.2.1-2.fc20.x86_64

    Many thanks in advance!
    Bas
