unhide_delay doesn't require mouse to stay on autohidden panel
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The point of the unhide_delay is to keep the autohidden panel from opening spuriously when the mouse happens to brush the edge of the screen. Currently, though, the delay is just a delay from the time the mouse touches the edge to when the panel opens; the mouse doesn't have to stay on the panel for the whole delay. For example if the delay is set to 2 seconds, and the mouse brushes the edge of the screen where the hidden panel is (say for 1/10 of a second) and then goes elsewhere, 2 seconds later the panel pops up. This totally defeats the purpose of having a delay, and makes the panel pop up all the time when it is not wanted. To Reproduce: 1. Make an autohide panel 2. [optional] Set /apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels/panel_XXX/unhide_delay to somethiing big (say 5000) so you can see this happen better. 3. Touch the hidden panel for as brief a time as you can, 5 seconds later the panel will pop up.
This is fixed in CVS. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 122589 ***
