[kwin] [Bug 467182] Cannot pan zoom area to certain locations when using KWin Zoom plugin with certain multi-monitor configurations
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467182 jacob ham changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jacobryan...@gmail.com --- Comment #1 from jacob ham --- This phenomenon happens because of an unfortunate reaction between the zoom desktop effect and the way that multimonitor is implemented. Plasma is not the only desktop to have it; I noticed the same thing on Windows (7 and 10, though I imagine it still exists today) as well. When displays have a vertical physical offset Kwin renders black boxes corresponding to those offsets to make the whole frame a rectangle. These boxes also define the bounds for where the mouse can move the zoomed frame, because they lay beyond what would normally be usable screen space it would not normally make sense to allow the mouse or windows to move into these unseen spaces. Because the mouse can't move into the boxes and the Zoom effect scales the whole frame, trying to the displayed zoom region up to the lower monitor's top does suggest seemingly inaccessible areas. It is actually possible to access that screen portion, however: 1. Move the cursor to the uppermost offset screen region and push the zoom area to the top of the screen. 2. Move the cursor back down (without moving the zoomed region) and push the region back towards the lower display. 3. Eventually, when you cross the virtual screen boundary that corresponds to the where the displays meet horizontally in the frame you'll see a black box occupy the topmost portion of your lower display. Below the box is the top of your lower screen, and you can push the zoom frame over the area you couldn't see before. Alternatively, switching to proportional or centered mouse tracking lets you see all areas of the frame like you describe iun the expected behaviour section without doing the annoying maneuver outlined above. Writing the above made me wonder why us blind users don't have a window manager that just creates an infinite plane that we can push around the viewport of, since zoom and magnification challenges the notion of physical display boundaries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[plasmashell] [Bug 455164] New: Can't highlight icons across multiple dispays in desktop Folder Views
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455164 Bug ID: 455164 Summary: Can't highlight icons across multiple dispays in desktop Folder Views Product: plasmashell Version: 5.24.5 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Folder Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: jacobryan...@gmail.com CC: h...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Flags: Usability+ SUMMARY When two displays are assigned Folder View layouts the user is unable to highlight icons across both displays. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Observing this bug requires multiple displays 2. Set two or more displays to Folder View layouts 3. Try to highlight across the displays by dragging the mouse across both screens with left click pressed. OBSERVED RESULT The highlight box ends at the edge of the display where the highlight was created EXPECTED RESULT The user should be able to highlight icons across multiple displays to create a more cohesive desktop experience.

[kwin] [Bug 429377] Wayland: zoom effect reverting to proportional mouse-tracking
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429377 jacob ham changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jacobryan...@gmail.com --- Comment #5 from jacob ham --- (In reply to Duncan from comment #4) > A comment on another bug made me aware of the wayland/X flags, use 'em. I know this is an old bug but do you remember which bug it was that you read? Or do you know what flags you're using to fix this weird zoom behavior? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
