As far as I know, it's intended to be like this, to avoid a "loop" when using mouse to switch workspace. I don't use this functionnality, so I don't know what was the behavior in 4.2, could you be more precise on this ?

(I'm not sure how it could cause a loop because of 'edge resistance' and the fact that your mouse in moving away from the edge in the new workspace). This appears to be a new 'feature' of version 4.4. Thanks, Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I suspect that eventually I'll get annoyed enough to change window managers (again).

If the pointer after the wrap is in the same zone where it can start a wrap, we could end up with a loop. In 4.4 implementation, the pointer ends out of this zone. > This appears to be a new 'feature' of version 4.4. Xfwm4 has been largely modified, yes.

I've forwarded the bug upstream, tagging it "enhancement", so maybe in a future release this will be configurable :) Regards, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
