** Summary changed:

- Edge Flipping not well implemented with graphic tablet.
+ Edge Flipping with a window using tablet input will flip to the end of a row of virtual desktop, passing any desktops in-between

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
- If you use a graphic tablet the EdgeFlipping is not well implemented.
+ Edge Flipping with a window using tablet input will flip to the end of a
+ row of virtual desktop, passing any desktops in-between
+ 
  When dragging a window to e.g. the right corner the mouse cursor stays
  on the right side until the last workspace on the right is reached. All
  workspaces in between not reachable this way :(
  
- Using the normal mouse is no problem. Here switches the mouse cursor to
- the left of the next right workspace. Please implement the same behavior
- for graphic tablets
+ Using the normal mouse is no problem. The mouse cursor will
+ automatically move to the left of the next workspace when the window is
+ dragged over. This is not so with a tablet.
  
  This issue occurs because of the absolute positioning of the mouse by
- the tablet. Because the pen must move to the very right, the mouse will
- update itself to stay on the very right by the time the window moves to
- the next workspace, making the window move once again to the next
- workspace until the screen can no longer move in that direction.
