Description

On a Retina display, moving the cursor the smallest amount it can possibly move still moves it two pixels instead of one. It seems the cursor is moving over by a point instead of a pixel, which can result in a more jagged animation when moving the cursor slowly.

I would like the cursor to animate pixel by pixel for smoother behavior on a Retina display.

I recommend using display zoom to see the issue more clearly.
