After conversation with John Lea this behavior starts to make perfect sense:
<JohnLea> rye; there are multiple parts to this interaction. The 'reveal edge' is disabled when the launcher is locked out, but 'Edge stop' is not only related to the launcher and should stay on in multi-monitor configs. It is symmetrical (we also use it to make scrollbars easier to grab on the right side of the screen in multi-monitor setups), and most importantly it allows a window semi-maximise to be triggered on the joining edge between <JohnLea> two monitors. <rye> JohnLea, ah, so this is not launcher-related. Scrollbars access is a really valid concern, now I understand the idea, hm <JohnLea> rye; semi-maximise is the more important use case <JohnLea> rye; but yes scrollbars as well <JohnLea> rye; however with the launcher locked out it should be less 'sticky' because only the 'edge stop' is triggered -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930165 Title: Unity launcher push-to-reveal code continues working in always-show - makes multimonitor navigation harder To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/930165/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
