Center cursor on zoom issues with Logitech M570

[Michael Lawton]

When the option "Center and warp cursor on zoom" is checked I get odd behaviour with amy Logitech M570. The cursor jumps to the center of the window like it should, but as soon as I move the mouse, the cursor then jumps to a seemingly random (but consistent) location mostly along the bottom right of the display arrangement.

If the kicad window is on the left monitor the cursor will usually end up on the right monitor. Moving the kicad window changes the location the cursor jumps to. This behaviour happens when the window is minimized or maximized and also happens with just a single monitor.

This behaviour does not happen with my trackpad or another USB mouse.

Hmm, that sounds really strange to me. Why would the M570 act differently from any other mouse here. It is not like it is a wacom tablet or something like that.

Do you have any Logitech software installed that could be interfering? My mouse has "Logitech Options", one of the scroll wheel settings makes zooming in KiCad (and other CAD packages) quite unstable.

Unless a developer has one of these mice and can reproduce the issue the chances of this being fixed are unfortunately slim.
