SUMMARY
Zoom's Mouse tracing does not respect my preference. I prefer "Push" but changing the option has no effect and  mouse tracking still behaves as if it's set to "Proportional".  

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Go to System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects > Zoom
2.  Change Mouse Tracking to Push > Apply
3.  Move the cursor around

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse Tracking behaviour does not reflect the setting

Things to Note:
1. Changing the option to Push has no effect as mouse tracker behaves as if it is set to propotional
2. I noticed that Mouse tracking works as inted on fresh start with an empty desktop sesion. However, as soon as i launch  any application the behaviour switches back to  propotional.
3. Zoom settings show the option is set to push despite the behaviour.
4. Zoom Does not work i.e. Cannot Zoom in  after switching to X11.

EXPECTED RESULT
When set to push the mouse cursor should be able to move within the focused area without shifting focus. Focus should shift only when the mouse cursor tries to move outside the focused area like it's pushing the focus to where its needed.
