Description flashingisillegal 2016-05-27 10:35:32 UTC
Putting an application into fullscreen implies I don't want to see the desktop or to be interrupted while using the application. I have three hotcorners set. One of them toggles the workspace grid, another toggles present windows, and the last shows the desktop. All of them are active above fullscreen applications, which means I am interrupted by them when my mouse accidentally hits them. I find this behavior intrusive.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable hotcorners
2. Put an application into fullscreen
3. Use a hotcorner

Actual Results:  
Full screen application is minimized or interrupted for the effect of the designated corner

Expected Results:  
Full screen application is above hotcorners to prevent interruptions

I've done some searching for this but couldn't seem to find anything relevant. I posted my issue on Reddit and was directed here. I apologize if this is the incorrect location for this bug, I'm not sure where the best place for it would be.

Sorry, I didn't see that bug. I searched for "hot corners" and "hotcorners," didn't think to search for "screen corners."

I'm just looking for the option to disable the behavior, I'm not suggesting it be made the default. One of the reasons I use Linux instead of some other system in the first place is my ability to customize and control the way my desktop behaves. A request for KDE's hot corners to act the way that is standard in other mainstream DEs seems justified to me.
