GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 522967
Directly support mouse tracking to adjust zoomer's region of interest
Last modified: 2011-10-14 10:48:26 UTC
Right now, an assistive technology using gnome-mag needs to listen for mouse movement events and then tell gnome-mag the region of interest for a zoomer. This seems very inefficient to me, and I think it may be what is causing some refresh rate issues when the user is using the mouse to navigate the screen. If gnome-mag were able to support four mouse tracking modes for a zoomer, we could eliminate the need for an assistive technology to track the mouse for these purposes, which would probably vastly improve the refresh rate. These four modes are: 1) None - the mouse isn't tracked. 2) Center - the mouse is positioned in the center of the zoomer when possible. 3) Push - the zoomer's region of interest is updated when the mouse hits an edge of the screen 4) Proportional - the mouse's position in the zoomer reflects the zoomer's position for the overall logical display

gnome-mag development has been stalled and it has been replaced by gnome-shell mag [1]. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX. [1] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-bugsquad/2011-October/msg00001.html
