On Kubuntu Feisty (all updates applied) on an HP Pavillion dv6000 series
laptop:
I have 4 desktops with the active screen edges enabled. The pager in the panel
is at it's defaults, so the layout looks like:
_______
| 1 | 2 |
----------
| 3 | 4 |
----------
Assuming for a moment that I'm on desktop 1 (the behavior occurs
similarly regardless of which desktop, I'm on), if I move my mouse to
the right edge of the screen, normally I should get to Desktop 2, but
instead I end up on Desktop 3. If I instead move my mouse to the bottom
edge of the screen from Desktop 1, I get to Desktop 2, instead of
Desktop 3. In other words, up/down acts like left/right and left/right
acts like up/down.
Now, if I configure the pager in the panel to be a single row:
_____________
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
-------------------
It works as it should, 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 then back to the left 4 -> 3 ->
2 ->1 etc.
After that, if I configure the pager back to automatic (or even
explicitly set it to 2 rows), it behaves correctly... as in, from
Desktop 1, moving right gets me to D2 or down gets me to D3, etc.
Not a show stopper, but definitely odd.
My apologies ahead of time if this is a dupe, but I couldn't find a bug
on it in launchpad.
