Bug Description

The mouse tracking when using the Gnome shell magnifier doesn't work. Text cursor and focus cursor tracking works fine.

To re-poroduce enable the magnification by pressing Super + Alt + 8. Move the mouse around and observe the magnified view remaining in one place. The magnified view should follow the mouse cursor.

Tested on both X and Wayland. Using a virtual machine and Dell XPS 9630.

This bug was fixed in the package gjs - 1.66.1-1

---------------
gjs (1.66.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Throws on Unsupported caller allocates
    - arg: Fix MIN/MAX safe big integer limits
    - Fix leak when virtual function is unimplemented
    - Cannot compile GJS 1.66.0 on macOS with llvm/clang 10.0.1
    - console: fix typo in command-line option
    - Prevent passing null pointers when not nullable
    - Passing fundamentals to functions works again (LP: #1898393)
