Bug ID: 489017
Summary: [wayland] Moving the mouse cursor across the corners
of a display causes it to get stuck
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This bug is not the same as Bug 488829, which is related to a new feature in
Plasma 6.1.0
If you have two displays arranged horizontally or vertically, if you attempt to
move the mouse while hugging one of the connected edges, the cursor will get
stuck in the corner that connects the displays. They do not even have to be
perfectly aligned to see this.
For example, if you have two displays arranged vertically, hug the left or
right edge and attempt to move the cursor down. It will get stuck as it tries
to go beyond the display. This is not the same as the Edge Barriers feature
because this only applies to the screen corners, and no amount of pulling will
get the cursor to move down, and it also occurs if you have Edge Barriers
disabled. You have to move the cursor away from the edge and then it can move
down.
If you have displays arranged horizontally, the same thing happens when hugging
the top or bottom edge. It also happens if your displays are not perfectly
aligned, for example a displays arranged horizontally but slightly offset from
each other. Attempting to move into the display when hugging a corner only will
cause the cursor to get stuck.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Arrange some displays
2. Attempt to move the mouse between displays while hugging one of the edges
3. At the corner where the displays connect, the mouse will get stuck, and this
only happens in the corners.
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor can get stuck when moving between displays if hugging the edge.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor should not get stuck.
