Mouse cursor randomly grows to huge scale

Support KDE Plasma
1

I’ve been experiencing a very bizarre issue for at least a month: At certain times my mouse cursor suddenly explodes in size and becomes huge for no reason, after a second of moving it around it goes back to its normal size. This seems to happen at random, typically if you move it too quickly between different windows or panels. Is the issue known and a workaround available?

If you jiggle it, it gets big? It’s a new Plasma feature I think.

That has to be one of the weirdest and more absurd features I’ve encountered: It actually seemed like a bug that caused the pointer to reset and not detect the resolution accordingly. I disabled it from that menu, thanks!
