Bug ID: 447668
Summary: Cannot show hidden docks and panels with touchscreen
on Wayland
Product: lattedock
Version: 0.10.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: mvourla...@gmail.com
Reporter: arnaud.verg...@mailo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When panels and docks are hidden on Wayland, it is impossible to show them by
only using a touchscreen. On X11, it works because the mouse cursor follows the
finger on the screen. On Wayland, there is no cursor anymore under the finger,
thus panels and docks are not aware the user wants to show them when touching
near a screen edge.
Similar to bug #447666 affecting Plasma panels. I reported it here as well
because I figured the technologies might be different.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a dock or a panel
2. Hide it by placing a window over it or by setting it to auto-hide
3. Touch the screen near the dock/panel position to show it again
OBSERVED RESULT
It is impossible to show a hidden panel or dock with a touchscreen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Users should be able to make hidden panels/docks appear either by touching near
the screen's side where the panel/dock is, or by doing a small swipe gesture.
If opting for a swipe gesture, it should not interfere with screen edge actions
by using different distance thresholds (small to show panels/docks, longer to
trigger actions).
