The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn’t justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

This actually isn’t a bug, it’s a KDE feature (literally). It’s so you can shake your mouse to find it. Here’s more detail, but basically to disable:

Uncheck System Settings → Accessibility → Shake Cursor → “Shake cursor to find it”

A thousand thanks! I don’t know why it was on by default, I find it quite annoying.

It’s quite helpful if you have a big monitor and play games that have textures similar to the cursor colors. On Gnome it’s available as an extension (Wiggle)

That’s definitely not a bug. Plasma 6.1 introduced an accessibility feature, that helps you find the cursor easier if you shake it for a bit

Its a feature. If you shake it, it enlarges.

It seems you shake your mouse a lot?

You can disable it in the settings

Its a feature. If you shake stroke it, it enlarges.

This, I keep explaining to my wife in the bedroom, but it seems I’ll never get that kind of accessibility from her.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
