There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it. (files.catbox.moe)

I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.

This is KDE Plasma 6.

Why would shaking the cursor make it bigger in the first place? Is this an accessibility feature to find the cursor?

Yeah, and Windows and OS X both do it as well.

Though there being no upper limit to the size is amusing.

MacOS does this, but on screen recording it never shows it. Feels good to see Linux records what user actually saw
