Current KWin Push zoom behavior

SUMMARY
With the "Push" mouse tracking option, the screen will zoom towards where the effect was zoomed in previously. I believe macOS always zooms towards the mouse cursor, sort of like how zooming works with "Proportional" mouse tracking.

OBSERVED RESULT
Zooming follows previous zoom position

EXPECTED RESULT
Zooming follows cursor position
