Screen recording of cursor growing when moving between screens

SUMMARY
The Mouse cursor grows in size when quickly when moving between screens in a KWin Wayland session.
After some time the cursor size will fix itself.

OBSERVED RESULT
Setup as follows:

Have two screens, same resolution and scaling.
Turn off corner and edge barrier in the active corners systemsettings because they are annoying you.
Set global scaling in systemsettings to 200%.
When slowly moving the cursor between both screens, the cursor will stay the same size.
Then quickly move the mouse cursor back and forth between both screens and it will grow.

EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor always stays the same size.

Oh nevermind, this might actually be an accessibility feature to enlarge the cursor when quickly moving the cursor?
