There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it.

I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.

This is KDE Plasma 6.

Why would shaking the cursor make it bigger in the first place? Is this an accessibility feature to find the cursor?

Yeah, and Windows and OS X both do it as well.

Though there being no upper limit to the size is amusing.

Can't tell if lazy programming or just figuring it will fix itself. In theory there would be a point of overflow maybe? Well, I guess that also fixes itself.

It's by design as mentioned in this bug report.

There is a hidden config to cap the over magnification on shake

[Effect-shakecursor]
OverMagnification=0
