Public bug reported: This is on today's Hardy, with the gnome panel in the default position at the top of my screen.
I want to use the Applications menu, so I "throw" my mouse cursor to the top of the screen, so the cursor is flush with the top of the screen, and kind of covering the "lic" of "Applications". I click, but nothing happens. What should happen is that the menu opens. Now, if I move the cursor 2 pixels down, and click, then the menu opens. The reason that the active area should be flush to the top of the screen is well described in the HCI literature as Fitt's Law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitt%27s_law "Edges (e.g. the menubar in Mac OS) and corners of the computer display (e.g. "Start" button in Windows XP) are particularly easy to acquire because the pointer remains at the screen edge regardless of how much further the mouse is moved, thus can be considered as having infinite width." As it is, I need to take far too much care when I want to open these menus in Ubuntu. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Applications/Places/System menu is not flush to top of screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
