[Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
When using Ubuntu 20.04, a workaround along the lines of comment #17 is to go to Settings -> Screen display and then set the primary display to the display other than the one currently selected. If the dock was previously shown between the 2 screens, this would move the dock to e.g. the left edge of the left screen, which then unsticks the edge between the two screens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726464 Title: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726464/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
Hi Guys, I use Ubuntu 20.04.1 and have a similar problem, in this case the mouse just move the cursor between monitors through the top part and appears in the second screen at the bottom of the screen. And viceversa from the second monitor trough the bottom to the top of the first one. I tried all the combinations for the Dock settings and nothing seems to fix the bug. Do you have any other suggestion?

The fix from #17 is not working for me, because I could not find any "Dock" settings via the "Activities" "Overview". I moved the dock to the left using the "dconf Editor" to set the key "org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock dock-position" to "LEFT". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726464 Title: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726464/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
Had the same (or just a similar?) problem: - auto-hide Dock enabled - When I move the mouse between monitors the mouse sticks at the (left) dock of the right screen. Fix: - Search for the "Dock" Settings in the Dash(?) (Super key) - move the dock to the right side of the right monitor => No sticking around of the mouse anymore between the screens :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726464 Title: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726464/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Ghetolay You can place the dock on all displays or pick the one you want it on in settings > dock I've just tested it and it allows you to open at the left edge of both monitors (not what I want as it also sticks the mouse briefly and i don't like the central dock). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726464 Title: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726464/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
Im not sure if its barrier or sticky that comes into play. I was able to disable it on 16.04 as described above. Multi screen (two) Dock on Primary monitor only Left Side Auto Hide Issue, Mouse sticks at monitor join edge. It occurs only when moving the mouse from primary to secondary at the top of the screen. Could it be the desired effect to prevent passing by the system dropdown (sorry dont know what else to call it). In any case, its quite annoying when you just want to move across because you have to remember to drop the cursor below the stick/barrier to get to the second screen. I am not sure how it can become acceptable, a delay barrier all the way down while frustrating would become expected and so tolerable but the small barrier with dead stop makes it so that you just happen to hit it inadvertently which means its virtually impossible predict and so find yourself looking around the screen for the cursor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726464 Title: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726464/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
Everyone here seems to be bothered by sticky edge and want it gone but I'm experiencing and wanting the exact opposite. When I set the dock to the left side and set auto-hide I'm not able to open it anymore on my right monitor. There is absolutely no sticky edge, even when I go really really slowly. I'm just not able to trigger the dock appearance.

[Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
Sticky edges make sense when the dock is mounted to the edge shared by two screens. However, the sticky edge remains active even with the dock is mounted to the bottom of the screen or the edge opposite the shared edge between screens. There's no reason to hang the mouse when there's no dock there. I'm experiencing this when simply moving the mouse between screens as well as dragging windows and other UI elements. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726464 Title: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726464/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Re: [Bug 1726464] Re: Can't easily move the cursor between monitors when the dock is set to auto-hide
In Unity it's still triggered by the mouse when placing it near the edge of the screen. I don't know how many pixels is used but I have never felt that it has been hard to trigger it.
