Bug ID: 489136
Summary: Edge barrier behaves unpredictably, causing irritation
in use
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The way edge barriers between screens work right now, are rather annoying, and
mouse movements do not land where one would expect. This happens mostly with
either slow mouse movements and or diagonal mouse movement.
Those take a lot more movement to cross the barrier than a fast movement.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE IN NORMAL USE
Try to naturally move the mouse to a button right across a screen edge, notice
how you will get stuck behind the barrier.
Generally you will move the mouse at a lower speed near where you want to
click.
Other option:
Try to move your mouse from the bottom right of your left screen to somewhere
along the top left of your right screen at a slower to moderate pace. Notice
how it's relatively hard to hit that area.
OBSERVED RESULT
The edge barrier behaves very differently based on mouse speed and angle.
EXPECTED RESULT
The edge barrier is a fixed width to overcome regardless of how the mouse is
moved.
Closing thoughts
I don't know if what I say is universally true, but I have noticed fighting
with the edge barrier quite a bit. On both my home and work systems. If this is
intended behavior, I will just keep the setting off, but I felt like it may be
worth it to consider these irritations.
