[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.

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

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. -- You received this

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
