[Bug 965080] Re: "Sticky Edge" is neither obvious nor explained

2016-07-26 Thread Matthew Paul Thomas
A tooltip is harder to see than always-visible UI text. Therefore, a
tooltip should be used only when there isn’t enough space to convey the
information otherwise. That’s why System Settings hardly ever uses
tooltips: because there *is* enough space to convey the needed
information without them.

Even if that wasn’t true, the fact that System Settings hardly ever uses
tooltips means that for any particular element in System Settings,
people would not expect it to have a tooltip. If people aren’t expecting
it to exist, they won’t put in the effort to reveal it, so it isn’t an
effective way of conveying information.

Anyway, I’m now responsible for the design of System Settings, so I
finally get to fix this.

I know this "bug" is years old at this point, but I'd like to make a
suggestion. In the display options in the System Settings GUI, could we
add a mouse over tool tip to the Sticky Edge option? So that when a user
holds their cursor over the option, it'll display a tooltip saying "When
using multiple displays, stop the cursor at the edge."

Agreed.

I disabled now, so I can move my cursor between monitors easily, but it
still stops sometimes.

What is the right way for moving mouse cursor between displays? Make it
fast?:) Really, I cannot find a proper and/or official description.

At the very least it should have a tooltip with an explanation or there
should be a help button for displays.

2012-06-06 Thread w-sky
I too find the term Sticky Edges  inapprehensible. Also I wonder why
this option is not greyed out in a single display setup, since it
affects only multi display setups.

May I suggest: Make mouse stick to display edges.

Intuitionally I did expect the Sticky edges switch to control if
windows should stick to screen edges and/or automatically resize when
moving them. But a switch for that function is completely missing, is
it?

Also at this point I expected and I consider to be necessary the
following: a switch to enable and disable moving windows to other
workspaces with the mouse. Using Unity, currently windows can only
freely be moved around workspaces using the mouse when the workspace
switcher has been activated. Also, a switch to allow mouse movements to
other workspaces would be cool.

I do mention this here because this is somehow the same as or related to
sticky edges, but for workspaces.

This option was turned on by default after a recent update. I thought it
was a bug and it was driving me crazy, I'm used to smoothly dragging
windows between dual monitors. After looking around, I finally found the
Sticky Edges setting in display settings and turned it off.

A replacement would be a checkbox like:

 [x] Avoid my mouse cursor to be accidentally lost in another display

But I'm afraid that it's rather long, and anyway this setting is too
advanced to be shown in the place where it is. And note that I don't
fully understand the purpose of the Sticky Edges and what problem is
solving, so take the above checkbox only as an idea of a self-explaining
setting.
