Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jpryor@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Enable mousetweaks (see #399801). Once enabled you should be able hold down the primary mouse button for a short period of time on the Desktop to display the Desktop context menu. Now, hold down the primary key on a non-maximized window's title bar for a short period of time *without* moving the mouse. Expected behavior: display of the title bar context menu. Actual behavior: The window moves (!) so that it overlaps the top-left corner of your screen, and the context menu of whatever was below the moved window before it moved is displayed (e.g. the Deskstop context menu). Fine print: this is on a dual-screen setup; perhaps that has something to do with it? May not be specific to metacity; didn't try another window manager. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It works fine here (well, I could only test with some upstream version, but I'd be surprised to see a difference in openSUSE). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The good news is that the originally reported bug is fixed -- with mousetweaks enabled, I can now bring up the context menu of a title bar without causing the window to move. The bad news is that it's still effectively unusable. The feature itself works fine, but enabling mousetweaks has the unfortunate side effect of changing the mouse pointer...to something "wrong." In this case, "wrong" means "pixelated, translucent, and doubled" -- my pointer has two tips. Alas, I don't know how to get a screengrab of the cursor. So I'll make do with ASCII art. A normal cursor: |\ | \ | _\ |/\ \ My "wrong" cursor: |\ | \ |\| \ i.e. it looks like two cursor tops, with one far lower than the other, and the cursor "tail" doesn't exist. It's also very blocky (hard to do in ASCII art). Furthermore, If I go to Control Center -> Appearance -> Theme Tab -> [ select current theme ] -> Customize... -> Pointer Tab, select a pointer icon (e.g. DMZ), and change the Size slider (e.g. by clicking the slider, then using the keyboard left/right arrow keys to adjust the position), the pointer is fixed. Yay. Move the cursor, and e.g. click on the desktop, move a window, etc., and it's back to it's broken state. Boo. What seems to be the problem is that mousetweaks "takes over" the pointer for custom graphics. If you hold down the primary mouse button over the desktop, I can see the pointer change colors, starting from the top and moving downward, somewhat like a progress bar. My guess is that this behavior renders the pointer cursor otherwise useless. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
