[Bug 1311323] Re: disabling "Show live previews of windows in switcher" leads to wrong mouse position while enabling it breaks "Show Desktop" hot corner

 

Proposed solution:

Refine Mouse Event Coordinate Mapping:
Investigate and correct how Compiz calculates mouse positions when "Show live previews of windows in switcher" is disabled. The root cause of mouse offset is likely due to incorrect mapping of input events in minimized and restored window states. A fix should ensure accurate pointer alignment by adjusting event coordinates considering window state and display scaling factors, tested across Intel and Nvidia drivers.

Ensure Stable Hot Corner State Persistence:
Modify Unity Plugin’s handling of the “Show Desktop” hot corner setting to reliably save and restore its configuration when toggling live preview functionality. This involves preventing unintended clearing or resetting of hot corner bindings, possibly by introducing state-check safeguards and better synchronization between the Compiz plugin and Unity settings daemon.
