I too find the term "Sticky Edges" inapprehensible. Also I wonder why this option is not greyed out in a single display setup, since it affects only multi display setups.
May I suggest: "Make mouse stick to display edges". Intuitionally I did expect the "Sticky edges" switch to control if windows should stick to screen edges and/or automatically resize when moving them. But a switch for that function is completely missing, is it? Also at this point I expected and I consider to be necessary the following: a switch to enable and disable moving windows to other workspaces with the mouse. Using Unity, currently windows can only freely be moved around workspaces using the mouse when the workspace switcher has been activated. Also, a switch to allow mouse movements to other workspaces would be cool. I do mention this here because this is somehow the same as or related to sticky edges, but for workspaces. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965080 Title: "Sticky Edge" is neither obvious nor explained Status in Ayatana Design: Opinion Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: gnome-control-center 1:3.3.92-0ubuntu4, Ubuntu Pangolin The "Displays" panel includes a "Sticky Edge" switch. If "Sticky Edge" was a well-known term amongst people who use computer displays (like "Sticky Keys" is for disabled people, for example), this might make sense. But it isn't, and doesn't. Unfortunately I can't suggest a replacement, because I don't know what "Sticky Edge" does either.
