So far I am using emacs 26.1 on cygwin on windows 10, and the windows 10=20 magnifier does the job of tracking the cursor. I am considering switching to gnome on linux and therefore installed the=20 fedora (version 29) distribution to try it out. The gnome (3.30) shell=20 magnifier supports cursor tracking and it works in other applications=20 but not emacs (26.1). I previously sent this message to the gnome accessibility list (that was=20 a long time ago in 2015, so with earlier versions of emacs and gnome)=20 and got a reply from Alex Arnaud stating: > I've tried to test Emacs with Accercicer (a accessibility debug tool)=20 and my conclusion are Emacs doesn't connect it to AT-SPI (accessibility=20 stack). I then wrote to the emacs-devel mailing list 2 months ago and Stefan=20 Monnier suggested that I open a bug. A simple recipe to reproduce the issue is: - Turn on gnome magnifier from Settings > Universal access, - Launch emacs - Start typing in the scratch buffer As you type, the magnified area would be expected to move to follow the=20 cursor, but it does not and at some point the cursor leaves the=20 magnified area so you do not see what you are typing anymore. Please let me know if any further information is needed.
