--- Comment #14 from mira...@mirandastreeter.com --- Reading this, there's two different issues at play and I feel like some of the discussion is overlapping. There's "sticky edges", which are great for facilitating snapping windows and highlighting scrollbars. But "sticky corners" are a completely separate concept, and help with corner buttons like closing windows and opening the launcher. The latter is reported in #451744, and relies on "Fitt's law": http://particletree.com/features/visualizing-fittss-law/ Users with single monitors become used to quickly slamming their mouse into a corner to reach an action. It's part of why MacOS has kept that fixed menu bar at the top of the screen (as much as its use has been de-emphasized in recent years). And relevant to this discussion, multi-monitor setups can break this functionality. Fixing that involves stopping the mouse entirely on shared corners, not just adding "pressure". A small magnetic effect still doesn't accommodate Fitt's law (ie an infinitely large target). Microsoft solved this problem back in 2012, and they described their thought process here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160701204429/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/b8/2012/05/21/enhancing-windows-8-for-multiple-monitors/ My point is, I *really* don't think we should to rely on this feature (don't get me wrong, it's a great idea!) for shared corners, only shared edges. I would love if the conversation for corners was redirected to #451744. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
