Bug Description

When I turn on locate-pointer,

[org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse]
locate-pointer=true

I get unwanted behaviour with scroll-to-zoom in firefox and other applications.
If I hold in the control key, the pointer locates, but then I cannot scroll to zoom.

If I continue to hold in the control key, then as soon as I have clicked or
tapped space ( I think any key or click ) then the scroll-to-zoom works again.

This is however super annoying to someone who likes both features.

I guess locate-pointer grabs the initial conrol-key press, but is there
no way to fix this?
