Mouse cursor does not move after Alt-Tab when using switch-applications #7

I was delighted to find this extension, hoping it would fix the single greatest annoyance for me in Gnome 3. Unfortunately, the mouse pointer does not jump to the new window after Alt-Tab switching. This is between windows in the same workspace, but Alt-Tab from a window in one workspace to a window in another workspace also does not move the pointer to the newly selected window, but leaves it in the same relative position on the new workspace screen, and focuses the window under that pointer location.

My system is Fedora Linux 36 (Workstation), Gnome version 42.2, Windowing System Wayland. Focus-mode is 'sloppy.'
[...~]$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode
'sloppy'

In case there are known or suspected conflicts between extensions, my active gnome shell extensions are: Alt-Tab Move Mouse; Custom Hot Corners - Extended; Extension List; Pidgin IM integration; Remove Alt+Tab Delay V2; Applications Menu; Dash to Dock; Places Status Indicator. I also tried disabling all of those extensions except Alt-Tab Move Mouse, with no change in behavior.

I welcome any suggestions for things to try; especially if I've overlooked a blindingly obvious setting!! Thanks.
