Bug#536446: kwin: dual screen, mouse's virtual position on wrong screen
Package: kwin
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
Hi,
sometimes, yes sorry I have no idea when, I get an annoying problem.
I have got a setup with monitor A, with a smaller resolution and a larger
monitor B using xinerama.
|----|------------|
| A |xxxv. B |
|----|xxxx. |
|-------------
When the problem occures, the mouse is still on the bigger monitor B, but
is only movable in an area as big as the smaller monitor A (Marked by x).
Additionally the position where a click is performed is not at the display
position of the cursor.
When I try to move the cursor lefft to monitor A, the cursor jumps into the
opposite direction, which is the edge of the currently movable area of
the mouse (Marked by the 'v'. It seems like it thinks the edge of
monitor A is somewhere in monitor B). Which means it stays on monitor B.
I can only move the cursor to monitor A if I manage to click focus a window
on that monitor. After that the behavior seems to be normal again.
Hope you can see what I mean - I would love to add a video but it can't
quite reproduce it.
I filed it as "kwin" but might also be a xfree problem.
Thanks for your time.
Benjamin Peter
