Created attachment 185343 [details] Track Mouse Effect Artefacts. SUMMARY Using a high resolution display with a display scale higher than 100% (tested with 75, 125, 150, 200%) introduces noticeable jitters for the Mouse Tracker Desktop Effect. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set Display Scaling to a value other than 100% 2. Enable the Track Mouse Desktop Effect. 3. Show Track Mouse effect. OBSERVED RESULT The rings for the effect will stutter, lag, jump around, and partially disappear. EXPECTED RESULT Expected the ring animation to be fluid regardless of Display Scaling.
