Bug ID: 478014
Summary: Switch on Desktop Edge should only show screen edge
glows when there's a desktop that can be switched to
in that direction.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: l7i20j...@mozmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Switch on Desktop Edge allows the user to switch virtual desktops just by
moving the cursor to an edge of the screen. I find it very useful for dragging
windows to other virtual desktops. The UI uses the screen edge glows to
indicate this is going to occur, which is very useful. However, it is very
misleading and unintuitive when the glow shows even when there is no desktop to
go to in that direction. An edge glow should only appear when there is a
desktop that can be switched to.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Switch on Desktop Edge (either on Always or Only While Dragging
windows).
2. Move the cursor (or drag a window) to an edge of the screen where there is
no virtual desktop to switch to.
OBSERVED RESULT
The glow appears regardless of whether or not a virtual desktop can be switched
to in that direction. This is misleading and makes the experience feel very
unpolished.
EXPECTED RESULT
The glow should only appear when there is a virtual desktop that can be
switched to in that direction. This is much more intuitive.
