[Bug 1189775] Re: Mir cursor has no hotspot setting, assumes (0, 0)

 

This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.5.0+14.10.20140717-0ubuntu1

---------------
mir (0.5.0+14.10.20140717-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * New upstream release 0.5.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.5.0)
    - mirclient ABI unchanged at 8. Clients do not need rebuilding.
    - mirserver ABI bumped to 23. Servers need rebuilding, but probably don't
      need modification:
      . DefaultServerConfiguration/Cursor API: Cursor interfaces changed, most
        notably CursorImages moved from ::mir::graphics to ::mir::input.
      . DefaultServerConfiguration: New "prompt" API.
      . DefaultServerConfiguration: "clock" member is now static.
      . SessionAuthorizer: New functions.
      . ServerConfiguration: New function added: the_prompt_connector().
    - Enhancements:
      . Add AddressSanitizer cmake build type.
      . frontend, client API, tests: add support for prompt session
        permissions and for client detecting errors.
      . server: Ensure our emergency cleanup handling infrastructure is
        signal-safe.
      . Implement and enable an xcursor based image loader for cursors.
      . Fix warnings raised by the new g++-4.9.
      . shared, scene: Introduce a generic listener collection.
      . MirMotionEvent: Define a struct typedef to allow for
        pointer_coordinates to be used individually.
    - Bugs fixed:
      . Nexus 10 leaks during overlay operations (LP: #1331769)
      . MultiThreadedCompositor deadlocks (LP: #1335311)
      . Intermittent test failure in ClientSurfaceEvents can client query
        orientation (LP: #1335741)
      . Intermittent test failure in ClientSurfaceEvents/OrientationEvents
        (LP: #1335752)
      . Intermittent memory error in ClientSurfaceEvents on
        orientation query (LP: #1335819)
      . mir_unit_tests.EventDistributorTest.* SEGFAULT (LP: #1338902)
      . [regression] Device locks randomly on welcome screen (LP: #1339700)
      . Intermittent deadlock when switching to session with custom display
        config & closing other session (LP: #1340669)
      . Mir cursor has no hotspot setting, assumes (0, 0) (LP: #1189775)
      . clang built mir_unit_tests.ProtobufSocketCommunicatorFD crashes
        intermittently (LP: #1300653)
      . g++-4.9 binary incompatibilities with libraries built with g++-4.8
        (LP: #1329089)
      . [test regression] SurfaceLoop fails sporadically on deleting surfaces
        for a disconnecting client (LP: #1335747)
      . Intermittent test failure ServerShutdown when clients are blocked
        (LP: #1335873)
      . [regression] mir_demo_client_multiwin is displayed with obviously
        wrong colours (LP: #1339471)
      . Partially onscreen surfaces not occluded when covered by another
        surface (LP: #1340078)
      . SurfaceConfigurator::attribute_set always say "unfocused" for focus
        property changes (LP: #1336548)

Title:
  Mir cursor has no hotspot setting, assumes (0, 0)

Status in Mir:
  Fix Committed
Status in “mir” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Mir cursor has no hotspot setting and just assumes (0, 0).

  A configurable hotspot location will be required for:
    1. Ensuring the hotspot is the precise point of the arrow (not quite location 0,0).
    2. Supporting other cursors where the hotspot is different, like centred cross-hairs.
    3. Left-handed support?...

  This could be implemented as either:
    A. A coordinate in the cursor image to use as the hotspot; or
    B. Assume the hotspot is always the centre of the image.

  (A) is how it's usually done on other systems, but (B) is most
  portable because it means we don't need to create any custom tooling
  to make any cursor.

  Once you know the hotspot location within the image, you just offset
  the hardware cursor by the negative of that coordinate.
