** Description changed: At some point the alt-tab application switcher seems to have gained support for mouse hover. This means if you have the mouse in the middle of the screen and then bump it while doing an alt-tab you can easily select the wrong application. To reproduce: 1. hold alt down 2. press tab 3. Move mouse to the left of the switcher on the edge of an application icon 4. Press tab a few times 5. Move the mouse a little bit across between two icons Expected result: The selected icon doesn't change Observed result: The icon under the mouse is selected This is particularly bad when the icons concertina under the mouse. Then basically any mouse movement will un-concertina them and select the wrong icon. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 - Package: unity 7.1.0+13.10.20130822-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-3.7-generic 3.11.0-rc6 - Uname: Linux 3.11.0-3-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu2 - Architecture: amd64 - CheckboxSubmission: e440e09ef58a53bccc45087674ba6b8e - CheckboxSystem: d00f84de8a555815fa1c4660280da308 - CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] - Date: Fri Aug 23 09:11:35 2013 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-04-01 (874 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta amd64 (20110330) - MarkForUpload: True - SourcePackage: unity - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2011-07-05 (778 days ago) + ----------------------------------- + Desired resolution: + + - when the alt-tab mode is entered, the pointer should be desensitised so that is no action is taken until the pointer has moved more than a certain distance in any direction + - To start with try using a value that nothing happens until the pointer moves more than 3 pixels in any direction.
