Hi,

I have the following display configuration:
Image

In addition to that I normally work with 4 desktops aranged in a 2x2 matrix.
I like moving windows between desktops by just moving them over the edges. This works fine so far, except that the upper Edge of LVDS isn't working for moving windows.
It successfully maximises a window moved to it, but just does not switch to the other desktop.

Am I missing a setting here or is this desired behaviour?
Or should I file a bug report (for which component exactly?)


Edit:
I just found out that all the other "Active Screen Edge Actions" don't work on this particular edge, either.

The X11 behavior at some point changed regarding mouse barriers (ie. you used to be able to move the mouse outside the screen, thus the screenborder was outside as well - imagine an extension of the left screen)

4.11 should fix this by bringing multiscreen aware screenedges.

Hi.
The issue still persist. At leas on my site and with dragging Windows.
Dont know if it's a help, but "Switch desktop on edge" is working with folders when i dragg them thru the edge to other Desktops.

KDE 4.11.00
Sabayon 3.9.4-server, up2date.

Regards,

did you disable that by hand?
(there's no config GUI to manipulate that value since it's usually not required nor a good idea - unless you knwo what you do ;-)

please set the reactivation delay to 100ms - it's inclusive.
