Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Question about mouse pointer positioning

Hi Astron,

I doubt that this feature is useful.

OOo has it because... Windows has/had it. And the Windows feature 
doesn't work within OOo, as OOo has it's own Window system.

AT doesn't care. If a dialog pops up, they will read/magnify the focused 
element.

A Magnifier would follow the mouse when the user moves it - but for 
dialog popup, the focus is the more interesting thing.

I don't see any good reason for keeping that feature, so if no one 
complains, feel free to get rid of it.

Malte.
