Fix keyboard move & bounce at screen edge; make keyboard resize problematic ;-) (1.23 KB, patch)

Description Elijah Newren 2004-10-06 17:40:02 UTC 
In comment 7 of bug 152898, Havoc mentioned that keyboard move and resize
resulted in weird bouncing at the screen edges.  I didn't see another bug filed
for this, so I'm filing it here.  I have a patch that basically fixes this for
keyboard move, but which allows windows to be made infinitely large off the edge
of the screen.  So it's not quite what we want, but it's at least part way
there.  One big question I do have is what do we want to happen at the screen
edge?  Do we just want the window to not bounce but the edge still be required
to remain onscreen?

(Note also that there is a bouncing of the terminal window whenever resizing it,
even if not at the screen edge; I believe this is a slightly different problem,
though)

Oh, also, when moving to the edge, the mouse doesn't actually go to the edge. 
I find that doesn't bother me at all, but I'm wondering if others would like
that better.  Unfortunately, that's a more complicated patch and would probably
require moving the XWarpPointer stuff inside constraints or determining the
last place of the pointer before warping.

I also haven't tested with Alt+F7 and then interchanging use of the arrow keys
and the mouse...
