Description Daniel Andre Eikeland 2008-07-09 12:19:45 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I have set up ctrl+alt+left/right keys to switch desktops, and a separate pager widget on my desktop. whenever I use the key combination to switch desktops, the previously active desktop is still highlighted in the pager view. If i switch again, I now have three highlighted desktops. As soon as I hover over the pager widget on the desktop, it updates, but it makes it impossible to just have a look at the pager widget to identify the current desktop, as unless I actually hover over it with my mouse, it doesn't "un-highlight" the previously active desktop.

This might be related to bug 156004...

Additional info - this only happens when my mouse is on the second screen (I have a dual-screen setup). If my mouse is on the first screen, it works as expected.

there's another pretty similar problem happening here:

when I move a window across the desktop border (active window borders are activated) the pager doesn't get updated so the window is shown twice (where it was before and after the move). If I hover the desktop in the pager it get's refreshed.

Happens on a compiled trunk from yesterday.

bernhard: I see that too, sometimes; maybe it should be reported in a separate BR...?

I can reproduce the original problem here, with one monitor, but it very rarely happens.

both problems don't happen anymore in svn
