Hey #Ubuntu people, I've got a UI question.

When I mouse over to a small UI element (e.g. the "Add content warning" button in the Mastodon post composing form) and then move my hand minutely to left-click it, the cursor often jiggles off of the target. This also happens if I remove my hand from the trackpad, mouse or trackball preparatory to clicking.

Is there a UI setting or add-on that addresses this? It's driven me crazy for years and I can't be the only one.

@pluralistic oh and for what it’s worth (which is nearly nothing, TBH), I personally use a fairly heavy “gaming” mouse from logitech, because (I think) it keeps me from moving the mouse itself when I try to click the buttons.

I guess the theory is, when you’re using a sniper rifle and you click to shoot, you don’t want the mouse moving slightly and this miss the shot.

@dashrb Yes, I've tried with multiple Logitech trackballs, the Framework trackpad, and a generic mouse.

@pluralistic I’ve had a pretty similar issue that drove me nuts but it seemed to be isolated to one specific Razor mouse. I don’t have a solution but I feel your pain.
