This actually isn't a bug, it's a KDE feature (literally). It's so you can shake your mouse to find it. Here's more detail, but basically to disable:
Uncheck System Settings → Accessibility → Shake Cursor → “Shake cursor to find it”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A thousand thanks! I don't know why it was on by default, I find it quite annoying.
It's quite helpful if you have a big monitor and play games that have textures similar to the cursor colors. On Gnome it's available as an extension (Wiggle)
So is Mac os
Yeah before you only had the "show cursor" kwin effect with 2 circles around it, needing a key combo. This one is way better
That's definitely not a bug. Plasma 6.1 introduced an accessibility feature, that helps you find the cursor easier if you shake it for a bit
Lol
I thought there was a scaling issue when I first installed. Now that I've discovered it's a feature, I love it!
