Wondering if anyone knows what the glitch is that the arrow's pointing to in this? The circles animate, the works. I'm wondering if I have something silly in Gnome 3 turned on. Arch.

Thanks.

Figured out what it was. (Can't remember where it was now unfortunately, as I'm in Fedora now) It's that setting that makes the mouse follow the keyboard. When one has that on, and hits the Ctrl key, wherever the mouse cursor is, it makes circles animate for as long as the Ctrl key is pressed, rendering it useless. I have no clue why anyone would want to be silly enough to put a setting of choice like that in any desktop in any distro - the Ctrl key is way too important. Makes no sense whatsoever.
