Since commit a2a8f0cda we force the focus surface of the meta-wayland-pointer to NULL while the pointer is invisible. This introduced an issue with the a11y magnifier of the shell, which uses `meta_cursor_tracker_set_pointer_visible` to hide the real cursor and show its own magnified cursor at the correct position: Because the meta-wayland-pointer is still used to communicate with Wayland clients, the UI of the windows will not respond to mouse movement anymore as soon as the real cursor is hidden. Fix this issue for now by adding an additional method to the cursor-tracker which allows disabling the behavior commit a2a8f0cda introduced. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/832
Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
