[Bug 1305438] Re: hot corners stop working time to time

 

The corners are working in 13.10 after disabling auto plugin sorting and ordering the plugins in cetain ways. I use scale, expo and wall flippng. In 13.10 expo can be placed anywhere,  wall has to be at the bottom for the edges to be renembered. scale has to be close to the bottom for the hot corner to be remmebered.

But then when 14.04 comes out this doesn't work anymore. Now expo has to
be at the very bottom, and for some reasons scale has to be above unity-
shell in the list or triggering scale would kill unity instantly. scale
and wall still have to be close to the bottom. This doesn't leave much
room. After some trial and error only ordering that works is scale >
unity > scale addon > wall > expo  in descending order and expo at the
very bottom.

This has been working for some times and then after reccent unity
updated from 7.2.0 to 7.2.1 scales stops remembering corner (it also
break other things) so I downgraded it and it works again. Then since
yesterday scale has suddenly stopped working and I have still no clue
why.

It is really gettng very frustrating. These bugs have been around in one
variation or other since 12.04 (or before), they never get fixed but
everytime when a new Ubuntu release comes out they move things around
in such a way that it breaks workarounds that previously works.

P.S. Christopher Townsend's PPA does not work, scale still doesn't
remember corners.
