** Description changed: - [EDIT] SRU fix covered by (LP: #1771606) + [EDIT] Master SRU fix covered by (LP: #1771606) + + Budgie Extras is a set of python based applets that are either + preinstalled or are available to be individually installed. They are + exclusive only to budgie desktop users and cannot be installed or run on + any other desktop environment. + + A number of issues have been raised since the 18.04 release. As part of + ongoing 18.04 support the Ubuntu Budgie Team proposes to wrap up fixes + on a very targeted basis. In this series of SRU's we have wrapped up + DR's that have been classified as LOW by the UB dev team. In addition + the scope of the change has been assessed to limit the potential of + regression. This is to ensure each SRU request is strictly limited in + scope with the risk(s) being easily determinable. + + + [Impact] + + HiDPI users have found that accidental activation of hotcorners + capability is difficult to control due to the hard-coded and fixed pixel + way-point i.e. the higher resolution means the actual activation point + is tiny compared to standard/low resolution laptops and desktops. It is + therefore highly likely that hotcorners will be accidentally activated + breaking the users workflow. + + The impact is for Ubuntu Budgie only and anyone running the budgie + desktop together with the Hotcorners applet. + + [Test Case] + + 1. Using Budgie Settings, check that on a panel the Hotcorners applet has been added - please note, the hotcorners applet is installed through the package "budgie-hotcorners-applet" + 2. Check that the hotcorners pressure option is enabled. + 3. Slide the pressure bar to the right to make the activation of hotcorners less likely. Slide the pressure bar to the left to make the activation of hotcorners more likely. + 4. Ensure a hotcorner is set to activate an action by using the panel hotcorners applet + 5. Move the mouse cursor to the corner - it will respect the pressure level set + 6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 several times with different pressure levels. + + [Regression Potential] + + * The worst case scenario is that the activation point remains + inconclusive for a wider and higher range of resolutions that was not + expected. This is no different from the current situation and the + accidental activation will continue. This can be mitigated easily by + removing the panel applet via Budgie Settings or uninstalling the applet + via command line/ Software Center + + * Ubuntu Team has independently verified that the fix works using a + HiDPI based laptop as well as a standard resolution laptop. + + [Other Info] + + None + + EDIT: + + Original description Description: Fix activation issues with HiDPI HiDPI users have found that accidental activation is difficult to control due to the hard-coded and fixed pixel way-point. Since HiDPI resolutions can vary, this patch enables users to control the pixel way-point via a slider-bar in budgie-settings
