Bug ID: 505764
Summary: Short four-finger gestures are broken under Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.3.5
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Gestures
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sephiroth...@hotmail.it
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Four-finger gestures to activate Overview and Desktop Grid require a lot of
movement in order to be detected and for the effect to be shown. While this
allows the animation to track the movement which is a benefit for eye candy,
this also means that a quick and short movement won't be detected and the
effect won't be triggered or, worse still, it will show the start of the
animation without actually doing anything, which will look and feel completely
broken. In other words, usability is lowered. Detecting a short four-finger
gesture (up or down) and activating the corresponding effect with a smooth,
automatic animation that does not follow the progress of the fingers' movement
should be possible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do a short movement upwards with four fingers on a touchpad
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, or just the start of the animation will be displayed and it
will look and feel broken.
EXPECTED RESULT
The animation plays out without the need to move the fingers across the whole
touchpad.
