Bug ID: 391084
Summary: Unclickable dead zone to the left of the application
menu button (regularly impeding user).
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bugs.kde....@boonhead.nl
Target Milestone: 1.0
When moving mouse to bottom left of the screen to open the application menu,
the application menu frequently fails to respond.
This is not because of faulty code, it is simply because the panel has a
non-clickable area 1 pixel wide both left and right.
Because of this, a user is unable to rely on his/her mouse ending up on top the
button for the application menu when trying to operate the system quickly.
This causes users to go through a user experience loop of:
* Waiting for the system to respond.
* Clicking a few times more.
* After 2 seconds realizing 'the mistake' (you made before).
* Quickly correcting the mistake in such a way that you even forget it ever
happend (until it happens again :D)
I initially classified this bug as 'minor', but changed it back to 'normal'
since the application menu button is pretty central to using the system; some
users might experience this problem a lot, but it all depends on how you 'move'
as a user.
