Description Ray 2011-09-17 16:27:09 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Workspace Behavior Window --> Screen Edges

When the Switch desktop on edge setting is set to Disabled, scrolling on the edge of the desktop still switches desktops. The only time switching is actually disabled is when an application window is maximized so that the cursor does not touch the desktop background.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Minimize application windows on all desktops. Scrolling with cursor at screen edge scrolls through desktops. Maximize application window on one desktop, navigate to a different desktop and scroll with cursor at screen edge. Scrolls through desktops until arriving at desktop with maximized application window, whereupon switching desktops ceases.


Expected Results:  
When Switch to desktop on edge is set to Disabled, scrolling with the mouse should never switch desktops.

Remained at current desktop.

You say "scrolling": may it be possible that you scroll on the destkop wallpaper which also switches the desktop?

Yes. When I scroll on the edge of the desktop wallpaper, it switches desktops. When "Switch desktop on edge" is set to "Disabled", I think it should never switch desktops.

Scrolling the desktop _anywhere_ switches the VD - that's a feature of the desktop, not the windowmanager.

The feature you're toggling is about the mouse leaving the visible desktop bounds (w/ or w/o dragging a window)

Maybe you just want to reduce the VD amount to one?

Ouch. I will mark this as Resolved.

No, I need multiple VDs, but I don't want it accidentally switching because I touched the wrong part of my mouse pad.

Thanks for your help.
