    Because shaking your cursor to spot it is kind of universal?

      Fair. It still should be communicated better though, because it really does feel like a bug when you first encounter it.

        MacOS had that feature for a long time, it’s pretty intuitive. I’ve never heard of someone thinking it’s a bug despite MacOS being very mainstream nowadays

          Personally I’m going to have to agree with them as well I installed Kde recently and this exact feature I thought was a bug. When digging around on Google for about 15 minutes before realizing it was a feature I had to turn off.

          We clearly live in different bubbles because this is the first time I’ve seen someone refer to MacOS as “very mainstream”. iOS, sure, but I haven’t seen many Macs out in the wild. It’s certainly not common to the point where people would expect MacOS behaviour as the default.

            MacOS has 25% market share for desktop operating systems in the United States. That counts as mainstream to me

              Around 15% here in Germany. That’s more than I expected, but it isn’t mainstream. At least not in the sense that people will expect MacOS behaviour by default on their computers, or even to the point where you can expect familiarity with MacOS from most users.

        As the other commenter said, when I first encountered it I whaybI though was that they put the Mac wiggle.
