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.

    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.

      I assume the KDE implementation resizes to default when you stop shaking it.

      I could totally see someone coding a function that increases the mouse pointer by x% every y mouse shakes, and then neglecting to put in a size cap.

        This feature used to be in KDE 5 as well though, but with a size cap. I suspect the removal of the size cap is intentional rather than a bug.
