Description Tamás Králl 2024-06-27 17:48:05 UTC 
SUMMARY
When setting the Magnification level to 'normal' in the Shake Cursor page of System Settings, there is no magnification at all when shaking the cursor, even if the effect is enabled. A normal level of magnification would indicate that there would indeed be some amount of enlargement of the cursor, but this isn't the case.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Shake Cursor
2. Enable 'Shake cursor to find it' if it's disabled
3. Change the level of Magnification to the lowest possible setting (Normal)

OBSERVED RESULT
Shaking the cursor doesn't magnify it.

EXPECTED RESULT
Some amount of magnification of the cursor would happen.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-06-27 19:09:48 UTC 
Can confirm. The lowest setting of this slider shouldn't be no magnification at all, since there's already a checkbox to disable the effect and have no magnification on shake.
