Bug Description

Hi there.

background:
I have a visual disability so I use the zoom / magnifier feature.
Problem:
Firstly, if on a dialogue screen, for example settings, and you moved the mouse, to view another part of the box, t would snap back to the centre, it didn't seem to matter what tracking option I selected, it did the same.
Expectation:
I would expect the zoom area to remain focused on the mouse pointer, unless I hit a key if focused
on a text box or other action button.

Problem 2:
Another is, when writing in a text box, say like this form, it will track to the top left of the screen for no good reason, meaning I have to find the mouse and pull it back again, it will not track back when hitting the keyboard, these are easy to reproduce and I've made short vids of this happening if that helps (let me know where to post them if it does help).
Expectation:
Here I would expect the magnifier to centre on the text cursor and move along with it, unless the mouse point is moved, then move back if a key is pressed again.

Be great if we can get this bugs squished, let me know what information you need to help track this problem down.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Universal Access, Magnification turned on, sorry don't know the package name.

Thanks.

Leona.
