Bug ID: 431851
Summary: Automatic screen rotation should rotate all built-in
pointing devices.
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.20.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kbl...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Automatic screen rotation should rotate all built-in pointing devices, such as
the touchpad.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a Plasma Wayland Session
2. Enable Automatic screen rotation, even when not in tablet mode
3. Turn my laptop on its side, counterclockwise, so that the caps lock key is
near my physical desk surface, the enter key is on top, and the screen is to
the left of the keyboard.
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen and touch screen rotate, but the touchpad does not.
Moving my finger up on the touchpad (parallel to the space bar, in the
direction towards the Enter key) should moves the mouse cursor rightward on the
rotated display (towards the hinge).
EXPECTED RESULT
Moving my finger up on the touchpad (parallel to the space bar, in the
direction towards the Enter key) should moves the mouse cursor up on the
display (towards the hinge).
In my opinion, all built-in pointing devices should be rotated. This includes
the Trackpoint if this laptop were a ThinkPad.
All external pointing devices should not be rotated, for example an external
mouse, my Logitech M570 wireless trackball, or an external touch pad such as
this one.
