It is 2012-04-28 and this bug still exists. I have a geforce 9800 gtk+ but using the old ubuntu approved drivers supplied as recommended. There will be a slight black shadow on the left when I want it to appear, but it doesn't open and the black glow collapses. It takes repeated attempts of bouncing the cursor to make it appear after it is stuck.

@P Cantwall Just do a dist-upgrade, or better still download and install the new release. This is supposedly fixed, and it seems a little better since sometime in beta2, however the reveal sensitivity still does not go far enough to fixing the problem. I can't see much difference between the default configuration and maximum reveal sensitivity. Maximum sensitivity really should allow the Launcher to appear as soon as the mouse hits the LHS. I don't *want* to have to increase my mouse acceleration. I do a lot of fine work in photo editing and I like my mouse acceleration the way it is.

After falsely subscribing to bug 871986, i see that now i'm in the right place. After reading the comments on thiw bug, i confirm that it easier for the launcher to reveal after the adjustments proposed. I still however have to hit hard the left part of the screen to reveal the launcher, something that i don't consider a right setting, because of two reasons: 1. It is not an obvious decision to start hitting the left side of the screen. An obvious thing to do is to leave the cursor there for a little longer, something that sadly does not work. 2. It reminds me of the you just need a bigger hammer logic, of which i am no t a fan. I also want to point out that this cannot be solved when using 12.04 in virtualbox guest installation, as pressuring left with the mouse just a) exits the mouse off the guest OS onto the host OS if the host OS is on never hide launcher setting, or b) reveals the Host OS launcher if the host OS is on autohide or avoid window launcher setting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923749 Title: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923749/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Would like to add that a few updates came through and set the edge stop velocity by default to 65. This makes transitioning between multiple monitors, smoothly, near impossible and extremely annoying. I have set it back down to 20 which improves the response a lot. I have also set my reveal sensitivity to High and seems ok for mouse. But still not sensitive enough for my touchpad. So I would say the sliders needs to be adjusted as so: The line it locks at should be in the middle. That line it should be the default but the same sensitivity as High is currently. The proposed High should be even more sensitive than the current one.

[Bug 923749] Re: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get
Is this bug about the default sensitivity, or about the launcher not revealing at all no matter how hard you push? Seems like these are two different problems. (the former being opinion, the latter being a serious bug.) I have the sensitivity set very high so that the launcher reveals very easily. I also have a dual monitor set up. In 5.2 the launcher revealed very easily for me. Since updating to 5.4 the launcher is extremely difficult to reveal. This isn't a sensitivity issue. It seems that something fails when the pointer first comes into contact with the screen edge. If that happens then the launcher won't reveal no matter how hard I push. I have to move the pointer away from the edge before pushing again. The next time, it might reveal very easily, or it might fail again. This only happens on the first monitor. The second monitor behaves exactly as it did in 5.2.

Been looking at this some more and it seems that when the sensitivity is low I can unhide the launcher by VERY gently stroking the pointer against the left edge.

When you use a mouse or touchpad pointer, it's anyway a virtual object on the screen, and we don't have the physical feeling for pressure or whatever else. This behavior has to be the seamless as possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923749 Title: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923749/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 923749] Re: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get
It's a bit better with the reveal sensitivity set to high. Anyway, if the push mouse offscreen feature might be a good idea on trackpads, I still don't find it ergonomical with a mouse. At first use, people (including me) don't seem to have the reflex to push on the left, and think the launcher does not reveal, or does not work. Another problem is that this push on the left physically moves the mouse on the left, while the cursor does not move. After a few pushes, the mouse has moved a few centimeters on the left. So you need to lift it and reposition it on the right (else it finally hits the keyboard, if you are right-handed) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923749 Title: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923749/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I agree with Mossroy 100%. My first impressions too. After using it for a while I kinda get it. But I have to say transitioning between multiple desktops is really annoying, a movement from left to right just keeps getting stuck in the middle. despite understanding the requirement to be able to position the mouse on a scroll bar or to unhide the other monitors launcher.

[Bug 923749] Re: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get
Rick, The drivers are the primary reason this isn't working for some people. Some touchpads are scaling inputs incorrectly, resulting in very low velocity pressures. This should not prevent it from working for these people, but it does make revealing take a bit more effort than intended. I have not seen a completely unworkable setup yet. The slider merely helps people who have misbehaving hardware deal with the faulty drivers. Ideally, the correct thing to do would be to ensure that all touchpads react the same way on all machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923749 Title: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923749/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I discovered today that the speed at which I point with the trackpad is a critical factor. If I do it slowly, it causes the launcher to appear more easily. Also, I am using a Dell Mini 10v, with a bog standard, trackpad.

Note that if I put the cursor to the far right of the screen, and do a quick swipe with the track pad, it moves the cursor all the way to the left of the screen.

after some discussion, it seems that are two cases: - cases like dell mini 10v (and your asus altec), where a quick swipe travels all the screen, but the launcher doesn't reveal (maybe not based on monitor width?) - cases like the xt2 where you can try whatever you want: you can travel 50% of the screen at most -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923749 Title: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923749/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

So what will RAOF do, make different drivers for every single computer on the planet? You waste your time with childish experiments.

[Bug 923749] Re: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get
The idea is that you are sustaining a push over a period of time. The important factor is the time. If you open CCSM and adjust the responsiveness slider you will have a shorter required sustained push. We dont have to expose this slider if we can decide on a value for it. Currently it defaults to 1.0f. The reason your quick swipes dont work is that they dont sustain the pressure for very long. You are applying very high pressure for a very short period of time. So the system sees this as very similar to accidentally cruising into the side when quickly going for the back button. The idea is to show intention. Maybe we currently require too much intention. The problem is people are trying to push faster, when the correct motion is a slow sustained push. The slider (even if we dont expose it) basically allows you to tweak for sustained push vs higher allowed pressures. The more responsive the launcher is, the more prone to false positives it becomes. I have chosen a very conservative value for now, perhaps we should increase the value to 2.0f. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923749 Title: New push mouse offscreen feature really difficult to get To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/923749/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This was the first behavior, but after some user testing, we saw that people, when wanted to just use the scrollbar on the left monitor, went to far away and then was frustrated as you have the launcher reveal blocking you on the right screen to come back.
