Due to a visual impairment I constantly work with a screen magnifier turned on (in full screen mode), and I need it to track the caret to follow what I am typing. So far I have been using emacs 24.5 on cygwin on windows 7, and the windows 7 magnifier does the job of tracking the caret. I am considering switching to gnome on linux and therefore installed the manjaro-gnome distribution to try it out. The gnome (3.18) shell magnifier supports caret tracking and it works in all applications I have tried except emacs (24.5). Hence I am wondering whether there is something I did not set up properly in emacs, or whether I did not install it correctly (I used the built-in package manager though). Would somebody know how to proceed or have a suggestion? If there is no way to get it to work in emacs, should I rather send this message to a bug or feature-request list? Or perhaps the problem is not in emacs but rather in gnome, or some other package? If somebody could point me to some explanation of how this works, I would be very grateful. I am new to linux and searched the web for answers with no success. Best regards, Eric
