[Fixed] Mouse Cursor jumps around

Hello everyone, I have a weird problem with my mouse: when I switch the window focus, e.g. by alt tabbing to another window, or by closing a window, and the newly focused window is on my other monitor my mouse will jump to that monitor without me doing anything.
It is not a deal breaker or something, but it is very annoying...

I am using Fedora 39 with Gnome 45 with xorg, nvidia 2070 super, running the nvidia drivers and a Ryzen 3600.

I looked in my control center for mouse options, but they are very much limited

hmm, that does not feel like it is a bug, I am not runnig Gnome but a Window Manager and there is a configuration were you can enable/disable that exact behaviour and it is called mouse warping.
You should check your setting for something like that or in Forums online.

Omg you're right, I am using the Forge extension and that had a setting for it, thank you :)

I don't run gnome myself but I asked AI and there may be a setting:

  1. Open the GNOME Control Center (you can search for "Control Center" in the Activities overview).
  2. Navigate to the "Desktop" section.
  3. Click on the "Keyboard" settings.
  4. Scroll down to the "Visualization" section.
  5. Uncheck the option labeled "Control pointer with keyboard focus."

My Gnome is in German and I do not know which point is meant by "Desktop":

The AI lied to me, as I booted a Fedora/Gnome VM and couldn't find that option. My only other guess would be maybe an extension like this was installed and forgotten about because I tend to do that
