from:"The Fiddler"

Public bug reported:

Using the new invisible window buttons on Unity, I noticed an annoying
issue: on a maximized window, the window buttons do not extend all the
way to the edges. They have a 1 to 4 pixel gap that make targetting with
the mouse or the touchpad quite annoying.

Ideally, I should be able to close a window by throwing the mouse to the 
top-left corner and clicking blindly. This is because the 'close' button is by 
far the most common:
- you close windows roughly an order of magnitude more often than you minimize 
or maximize them
- you can maximize/unmaximize a window by double clicking the titlebar, so the 
maximize button already has a big enough target.

The solution is two step:
1. make the hit-area for the three buttons extend all the way to the top edge 
of the screen.
2. make the hit-area for the close button extend all the way to the left edge 
of the screen.

I am willing to send a patch, if someone can point me to the right
direction. Is this part of theming (which files) or of the unity plugin?

Thanks.

hese two bugs are probably two sides of the same coin: in this bug, the

they don't disappear.

I can confirm this issue.

These two bugs are probably two sides of the same coin: in this bug, the

[Bug 835977] Re: Maximized window buttons do not extend to the corner of the screen

I should also mention that this behavior is inconsistent with the
invisible menus and the indicators on the other side of the screen.
Menus extend to the top edge, as do indicators. Additionally, the last
indicator extends all the way to the right (i.e. you can throw the mouse
blindly and hit the powercog button).

[Bug 836023] [NEW] New compiz alt-tab switcher window is slow to appear

Public bug reported:

I am using the new alt-tab switcher in Oneiric. When I press alt-tab the
window switcher takes just a little too long to appear. Releasing alt-
tab during this period will generally work (I've seen it miss presses
but this no longer happens after the latest upgrades) but the switcher
won't appear until half a second later.

I don't know if the window is slow to render or this is just a timeout,
but it feels slow and somewhat annoying when you have many windows (and
you need to see the window before you can select the correct one). I'd
appreciate it if this could be made faster or even configurable.

[Bug 836274] [NEW] Pressing alt on maximized window does shows menu but not window controls

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a window and maximize it (e.g. nautilus)
2. move the mouse away from the panel to make the window controls / menu hide
3. press alt

On step 3, the window title will be replaced by the menu (as it should).
However, the window controls remain invisible, which is unexpected. Move
the mouse over the control area and they will suddenly re-appear to the
side of the menu, which feels inconsistent.

Pressing the alt button should behave the same as moving the mouse over
the title: both the controls and the menu should appear at the same
time.

[Bug 835731] [NEW] Window controls don't appear when approaching from the left-most column of pixels

2011-08-27 Thread The Fiddler

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a window and maximize it (e.g. nautilus)
2. move the moese away from the top panel to make the window controls disappear
3. move the mouse to the left edge of the screen and move it slowly upwards 
until it enters the panel
4. the window controls fail to appear unless you move the mouse 1px to the 
right or more and only as long as the mouse does *not* touch the top edge of 
the screen.

If it touches the top edge, then the window controls will not appear
unless you move the mouse over the invisible menu area.

This looks like some bug in the hit-testing for the window controls.

[Bug 681348] Re: Add show me the desktop keyboard or Unity dock shortcut

Is it possible to add an icon to the bottom part of the launcher (just
below the trash icon)? That could work fine with the wmctrl hack.

Of course, the best solution would be to add this inside Unity itself
(just like the trash icon). It doesn't even need to be a full 48x48px
icon, even a 48x8 bar would be a large enough target, provided it
touches the bottom and left edges of the screen. Any idea if this is
possible?

[Bug 830110] [NEW] Horrifically bright Aero Snap color (grid plugin?)

Public bug reported:

When using Aero Snap (sorry, I don't know the official terminology for
Unity, this is the effect that happens when you move a window to the
sides or the top of the screen), I now get a horrendous goldish-yellow
color instead of the soft orange I used to get in Ubuntu Natty. This
color is painfully bright, to the point that it washes out everything
below it. I actually find myself looking away from the monitor when
moving a window to the sides, it's that bright. See the attached
screenshot!

This happens regardless of the graphics hardware or drivers (tested on
radeon, fgrlx, nouveau and nvidia) so it's apparently some
misconfiguration. It's obviously much worse on larger/brighter monitors
(esp. when using movie settings to watch a movie and you try to drag-
maximize the movie window).

Any ideas?

[Bug 830121] [NEW] Alt-tab causes mouse cursor to disappear

Public bug reported:

When I press alt-tab on the keyboard (getting the brand new alt-tab
prompt), my mouse cursor disappears and the mouse becomes unusable for
as long as the prompt is visible (no click, no movement, no nothing).
This is highly confusing - I expect the mouse to be there and visible so
I can click application icons inside the alt-tab prompt.

I do that regularly when I have multiple ( 5) applications open, since
alt-tab + mouse click is faster than tab-cycling through all icons one
by one.

Move on is cheap talk when our day-to-day workflow is impacted in such a

[Bug 807736] [NEW] Multiple monitors with different resolution: window maximization broken

2011-07-08 Thread The Fiddler

Public bug reported:

I have a 1366x768 laptop that I connect to an external 1920x1080
monitor.

Windows maximize correctly on the monitor that is up or left. Windows
maximize incorrectly (they half-disappear into the void) on the monitor
that is down or right. It doesn't matter which monitor is set as
primary.

Steps to reproduce: connect a second monitor and select a different
resolution than the first monitor. Set vertical layout (one monitor over
the other) or horizontal layout (side-by-side). Open one window on each
monitor. Click the maximize button and observe the brokenness. Try using
the grid plugin and observe the brokenness (windows on the bottom or
right monitor half-disappear outside the monitor).

Anyone know any fixes/workarounds for this, other than falling back to
classic mode? I am using Ubuntu for work and this is hurting my
productivity.

[Bug 804902] [NEW] Scroll thumb doesn't appear when approaching the window from outside

2011-07-02 Thread The Fiddler

Public bug reported:

When approaching the overlay scollbar from inside the window, the scroll
thumb appears as expected. However, when approaching the scrollbar from
outside, the scroll thumb doens't appear - you need to first enter the
window and then move towards the scrollbar again.

This behavior is highly unintuitive and should be fixed.

[Bug 804463] [NEW] Window resize bug in Unity (top resize border is smaller than the rest)

Public bug reported:

Natty has finally fixed the well-known window resizing bug! (1px borders
that previously made resizing difficult) Unfortunately, the fix is only
75% complete: only the left, bottom and right (invisible) invisible
borders have been fattened to make resizing easier. The top window
border is still 1px large, making resize as difficult as ever.

An oversight or bug in the implementation? Possible - but please fix!

This issue is reproducible on both a vanilla and a fully-upgraded Natty
install running the Unity interface.

[Bug 804479] [NEW] Unity misses mouse clicks to the ubuntu button and presses of the win key

Public bug reported:

This is very simple to reproduce regardless of CPU and video hardware
and drivers (have tested r600g, fglrx and nvidia so far on both slow and
fast processors):

- click the ubuntu button five or six times in a row.
- press the win key five or six times in a row.

Unity will only pick every third click/press or so. The rest will be
dropped, making Unity feel very slow or hesitant to react. This
doesn't appear to be linked to CPU/GPU performance in any way - it looks
like a bug in the implementation (Unity stops reading input until the
fade-in/fade-out animation ends?)

[Bug 804486] [NEW] Ubuntu Unity button is activated on mouse up not mouse down

Public bug reported:

- Hover the mouse over the ubuntu button. Click it.
- Now hover the mouse over an indicator applet on the top panel. Click it.

What do you see? The indicator applet is activated as soon as you press
the mouse button; the ubuntu button is activated when you *release* the
mouse button.

This behavior is inconsistent and ugly. The ubuntu button feels slow -
even though it isn't! - because it doesn't activate for 100-300ms (the
time it takes for you to release the mouse button). There is no good
reason why the menu is activated on mouse-up: moving the mouse over the
top-left portion of the screen and clicking is a very deliberate action.

This menu hesitation issue had been bothering me for months but I
couldn't quite pinpoint its cause. Today it finally downed on me.

Please fix! :)

[Bug 804479] Re: Unity misses mouse clicks to the ubuntu button and presses of the win key

Bug #766776 is talking about double clicks. This bug is about *single*
clicks and keyboard shortcuts (where the concept of double clicking
doesn't apply anyway).

In short, the fix for #766776 has caused a regression in the handling of
single clicks (hence this bug report).

Just to clarify things with a concrete example:
- let the double click detection delay be set to, say, 500ms (that is, two 
clicks that occur within 500ms are reported as one double-click)
- the BFB should handle double- (and triple-) clicks as described in #766776.
- the BFB should handle single clicks (i.e. clicks that happen in 500ms 
intervals) as distinct clicks (e.g. one to show and one to hide the 
dash/launch/whatever-it's-called thingy).
- the BFB should handle winkey presses as distinct and instantaneous (e.g. 
show/hide/show). This is how all gnome applications behave on the desktop 
(pressing the 'a' key two times results in two distinct presses, not a single 
double-press. Double-clicking is a mouse-only concept).

This bug is about the last two items.

It appears that Unity is introducing its own double-click detection
delay that is not consistent with the gnome mouse settings (measuring
with the eye reveals something close to a 1sec detection delay - much
higher than the default 500ms setting in gnome!) Additionally, this
delay should not be applied to the keyboard shortcut, as this is not how
keyboard shortcuts are supposed to work!

[Bug 777492] Re: Global menu button ignores multiple clicks/keystrokes in rapid succession

I can confirm this issue. Each consecutive click apparently resets the
suppression timeout, which is not how things are supposed to work!

Ideal solution:
- do not apply suppression to keyboard events. This is outright wrong 
(double-click is a mouse concept, not a keyboard one. Applying suppression to 
the keyboard is completely inconsistent with how the rest of the desktop works!)
- use the global mouse double-/triple-click setting from gnome (i.e. do not use 
500ms or any other hardcoded value). These settings are there for a reason.
- reset the suppression timeout only on successful clicks, not on every click. 
This will fix the keep clicking to eternity bug.

Please consider bumping the priority, this is a very evident usability
issue (and one of the first slowness/hesitation issues that I
noticed on Unity - no, it's not slow in reality, yes this issue makes it
feel that way anyway!)

Re: [Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking it's Launcher Icon

2011-06-25 Thread The Fiddler

2011/6/25 mmiicc mpredo...@gmail.com

 Workspace switcher icon, Applications icon (the one with plus sign in a
 cap of coffee), Files and Folders icon and Ubuntu icon, also every icon
 in top panel work in the way that on one click they show something, on
 another they hide it. Is this also confusing to users? I don't think so.
 So, why the same behaviour with minimising application's windows might
 be confusing?


And if not minimization, then rig the button to disable scale mode on second
click (first click shows all open windows side by side, second click returns
to normal). It is extremely unintuitive that, by default, you cannot escape
scale mode once you enable it, no matter what you try: click on the icon
(doesn't work), click on the desktop (doesn't work), click on the panel
(doesn't work), click on a random window (works, but brings that window on
top even if you don't want that).

I'm starting to think that some dogfooding could improve Unity
significantly. Take the designers' Macs away and force them to use Unity
exclusively for a couple of months and some of these won't fix issues
might just be reconsidered. Hm, make that Unity+Inkscape+GIMP and record
their reactions, too. (Yes, I'm being ridiculous here. Mostly. It's obvious
that this bug report is now dead.)

 Some extra comments:

  When the window of a program/application is already focused and you
 click the corresponding launcher icon (of that program) you expect
 usually that something happens

 You might do, but non technical users might get really confused if they
 dialog go away because they click on the show me the application icon
 twice by error (double click instead of simple click for example)

 Citation needed - otherwise this is no better than the anecdotal evidence
provided here by users that this behavior *is* confusing and unintuitive.

  2) You (meaning Canonical) accept the fact that people post requests in
  which they demand changes to the system. But Canonical should then make
  clear that they do not want any extra work from non-canonical members
  because they are not willing to maintain patches from users. So do not
  post any messages on planet.ubuntu or anywhere to get people to fix
  bugs, as I deem this  insolent. Canonical cannot request users to work
  for free on those bugs  they deem worthy to be worked on but completely
  ignore those bugs in which they are not interested.

 Bugfixing is not the same as adding functionality or changing the
 direction of the design of the project. The design team and the
 ayatana community have worked hard to create a design vision for
 Unity, and it is clear that we want something that is consistent with
 the goals of Canonical Design and Ayatana. Thus, those who create the
 product have a voice in the direction it goes in. This is no different
 to the way it works in KDE, or GNOME or any other distribution with
 module proposals and the like.


Indeed. But as you can see from the community response to this design
choice, there *is* an issue here and this issue might merit reconsideration
in the design. SRoesgen summed things up succinctly: when you click on an
icon, you expect something to happen. When nothing happens, the icon feels
broken.

*What* should happen is something that the design team can and should
consider. A few people have suggested minimization - rejected - but there
are other, potentially even better, possibilities.

Why am I being so persistent here? Because several users I support have
commented on this behavior spontaneously - and I had nothing better to offer
other than it's by design (reply: what?) and that Unity is still under
heavy development (reply: ah, so they'll fix it).

Anecdotal evidence but easily reproducible. Just place someone in front an
Ubuntu laptop, let him go about his daily tasks (browsing, messaging, maybe
edit a document) and have him comment on his actions and feelings. It won't
take long, especially if he uses a low-resolution monitor (e.g. 1366x768)
which requires frequent window management.

I'm pretty sure someone has already written a patch, either here or in the
related ayatana discussion. In this case, it's just a matter of reviewing
and approving the patch.

It would be a shame to ignore one of the most subscribed-to bugs for
Natty.

  Why should the launcher suddenly hide windows?

 Again: because applications can not be hidden.


Exactly.


 It would be completely
  inconsistent, illogical and simple wrong.

 I don't think so: the launcher is used to create a new *window* for an
 application or to bring the *window* of that application up. As far I know,
 applications that does not have a window can not be pinned (and aren't even
 shown) in launcher.


Not only that, but the launcher can be used to *quit* an application. Isn't
that completely inconsistent, illogical and simply *wrong*?

This is getting ridiculous.

 Exactly. This *is* ridiculous. Please read up on the application and
 window-centric interface paradigms. I've posted about this on the
 mailing list several times and you can find other resources if you don't
 like listening to me.


The requested functionality does not break the application-centric paradigm.
Please try to pay a little more attention to what is being suggested here
and in the ayatana mailing list.

Let me reiterate: people wish to click on the launcher icon to hide the
application, i.e. *all* windows  belonging to that application. This is 100%
equivalent to the Quit button we have now.

I hope this is clear to you. If you have a counter-argument please write
it.

As for terminology: it doesn't matter. Call it minimize or hide, it.
doesn't. matter.

Personally, I would really appreciate it if you paid a little more attention
to what they wrote, without preconceived ideas about what you think they
wrote.

I don't think no one is going to be mislead by the previous titles. Most
 people complaining about this feature will not be content if it is
 implemented as in post #58. Many want the old task bar like minimizing back
 and this bug IS NOT about this issue. I've just opened a new bug for just
 this problem (among others):


Good, because gnome-panel-like minimization is not what people are
requesting here. That's a totally different issue.

2011/5/17 Ed Lin 733...@bugs.launchpad.net

 Back to the real topic:


Good.


 all windows belonging to an application is the same as the application
 from a Linux user's perspective. Both would work for them. That doesn't mean
 the chosen terminology doesn't matter to the user at all. I already
 delivered the counterargument (in fact argument because there -still- is
 nothing to counter) but I'll repeat it in case it got lost somehow:
 All windows of an application is not the same for:
 - OS X users (the only app-centric desktop interface that already had
 users to speak of)
 - people confused by all windows of an application vs. all windows on
 the desktop
 - Interface designers using accurate terminology (those aren't users but
 bug reports aren't really intended for users either)


This bug report explicitly refers to Minimize Application's Windows upon
clicking it's Launcher Icon . Not minimize application but minimize
application windows.

The fact that applications without visible windows exist is *completely
irrelevant* to this bug report and resulting discussion.


 As for minimize vs hide:
 One minimizes a window *to* a taskbar button (usually depicted graphically
 by a _ or v like sign), while the other hides a window completely,
 it's gone from the desktop. It's not just a question of terminology (which
 *is* important when we are discussing interface design). The difference has
 important consequences for the user. Hidden windows behave very differently
 in a mental model, a user has to be somehow reminded that they are still
 open, he needs to know beforehand how to get the window back (animations
 can only be hints that which don't really change that). Minimized windows
 are simple, on a busy desktop they behave just like open windows behind
 other windows.


Great. This bug report is about *minimizing* windows, so please open a
different one for hide vs minimization and/or terminology matters. The rest
is line noise that has little to do with the topic at hand.

One click to launch, one click to show, one click to hide them (and in the
darkness bind them). Wheel scroll to switch between instances of the same
applications and middle click to launch another instance.

In other words, just copy AWN.

 One thing is certain, the old taskbar window minimizing behavior is not
 coming back unless the whole taskbar makes it back into Unity. An
 application dock simply doesn't work that way, like it or not.

Have you ever used a dock? Because pretty much all of them work this
way.

 AWN, docky, cario-dock and OSX (afaik) all do this ??

 The only dock i can think of that doesn't is unity

Please consider this: I click an icon (say a browser) to see if anything
new has appeared inside it. If not, I immediately reclick to minimize
that window and resume my previous work.

By breaking the symmetry of show/minimize, I now have to move the mouse

So another +1 here. Please bring this back!

Re: [Bug 160311] Re: Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult [please no more comments; patches welcome]

2011-01-24 Thread The Fiddler

2011/1/24 Neilen Marais launch...@chatsubo.lagged.za.net

 I think a good modification to the invisible drag handle proposal
 would be to rather use resize border resistance.  This is a solution
 that won't require more than 1 px of UI space to work well. How I
 envisage it working is:

 1) keep your arbitrarily small window border resize
 2) Define a resize-resistance size, say 5 px
 3) Once the user moves the pointer over the resize edge, the resize cursor
 will appear
 4) The resize cursor will remain active until the user moves the pointer at
 lease 'resize-resistance' many pixels away from the resize edge
 5) Click-and-hold while the resize cursor is active will result in window
 resizing.


This wouldn't solve the issue, since most the difficulty lies in positioning
the cursor over the 1px resize edge (once you manage that, initiating a
resize is simple).

In any case, this is being worked on for Natty, apparently. Hopefully we'll
be notified when the fix lands, so we can alpha-/beta-test the solution and
provide any necessary feedback.

Shouldn't this package be rolled into a standard update? I also having this
issue and it is getting mighty annoying after 40 days.

You can log out and in again instead of restarting. Try Ctrl-Alt-F1, enter
user/pass and type: sudo restart gdm. Still annoying but much better than
a full restart.

I am experiencing the same issue on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1818 laptop
and the internal touchpad. This doesn't seem to be limited to Microsoft
keyboards.

 I am experiencing the same problem on CHICONY WUR-0570TR wireless
 keyboard+mouse set.

 Status in Ubuntu Release Notes: New
 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: New
 Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
 Status in “linux” source package in Maverick: New
 Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” source package in Maverick: Confirmed

 Bug description:
 Binary package hint: xorg

 Following an online update from Kubuntu Lucid to Maverick beta, use of
 almost any of the 'special' buttons on the keyboard (mail, home, documents,
 play/pause, volume up, zoom in...) fires a ButtonPress event (as seen by
 xev) for the physically left mouse button (i.e. left click with the mouse
 set right-handed, 'right click' if set left-handed). There is no
 corresponding ButtonRelease, so the computer acts as if that mouse button is
 held down. The ButtonPress occurs between the KeyPress and KeyRelease events
 of the special key.

 This makes the mouse essentially unusable. So far, I've not found a way to
 reset it besides logging off (i.e. restarting X).

 Hardware:
 - Basic Microsoft keyboard and mouse (optical wheel mouse, Digital Media
 Keyboard 3000)
 - Intel graphics (lspci says it's an 82G33/31 integrated graphics
 controller)

 Initially I thought the problem was related to kwin compositing (which also
 causes some problems, see bug 630632 ), but I've found it happening even
 with desktop effects turned off.

 I don't know if xorg is the best package to file this against, so if not,
 please point me in the right direction.

[Bug 658218] Re: Pressing any extended keyboard button disables mouse left-click

I should add that I am not using a Microsoft mouse (it is a notebook
Snappy Smart mouse by Speedlink), so this bug is probably independent
of the mouse make.

** Summary changed:

- Pressing any extended keyboard button disable mouse left-click
+ Pressing any extended keyboard button disables mouse left-click

I can reproduce the issue using the nouveau driver instead of nvidia.
