[Bug 284158] Re: Rotate Cube plugin eats mouse clicks on sides of screen

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. The compiz program
that we currently use in Ubuntu is a C++ re-write of the original compiz
and was announced the 4th July 2010. Therefore, the bugs that were
reported before that date, will be marked as "Won't Fix" as they
probably exist in the original program which is not stored in launchpad.
(The last LTS that used the old compiz is the 10.04 which is not
supported anymore).

** No longer affects: compiz

** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix

Title:
  Rotate Cube plugin eats mouse clicks on sides of screen

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When the Rotate Cube plugin is enabled on Compiz-Fusion, a two pixel
  border on the left and right sides of the screen become unresponsive
  to mouse clicks. This bug used to occur on the Wall plugin (Bug
  #103306), but has been fixed for that plugin. Also, when only the Cube
  plugin is enabled, the bug does not occur. Only the Rotate Cube plugin
  creates the bug.

  The top edge and bottom edge of the screen are responsive to mouse
  clicks. It is only the left and right edges of the screen that eat the
  mouse clicks (2 pixels wide on each side). The four pixels on the
  corners of the screen are responsive to mouse clicks.

  This is an annoying problem because it breaks Fitt's Law, and users
  cannot throw their mouse to the side to scroll up and down in windows
  (for example, Firefox).
