Settings Screenshot (activate the checkboxes i marked)

SUMMARY
***
There are settings for the zoom plugin to follow the focus or track the text cursor. those seem not to work. maybe some additional setup is needed? but if this is the case visual impaired users what are new to KDE will not know about that. Accessibility should just work.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check the boxes in Zoom settings i marked in the screenshot
2. zoom in by Meta+= (several times, to see the issue more easy)
3. tab arround, write text change windows by press alt + tab

OBSERVED RESULT
nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
1. the magnification area should follow the cursor and active element on screen. 
2. The focus should follow the text cursor when type into an text control
