Description Rodd Clarkson 2005-05-15 12:12:13 UTC 
Version details: gnome-panel-2.10.1-10

I have a work space switcher in a panel at the bottom of the screen.  If I place
the mouse cursor as far down the screen as I can (so that just the tip is
showing) and then click, it doesn't change the workspace in the switcher.  If I
move the mouse up small amount then the workspace changes (is selected)

On the other hand, if I place the mouse curser in the same position below items
in the Window List Preference then the item is selected.

Is this a Fitt's Law thing?  I would have thought that placing the mouse on the
edge of the screen should see the mouse click still able to change the workspace.

Worksforme, what is the size of your panel in pixels?
Comment 2 Rodd Clarkson 2005-05-15 23:55:42 UTC 
My panel is 32 pixels high.

Not sure if this is relevant, but it's also a white, transparent set at about 20
opacity.  (20% of the way from the transparent end of the scale).

Oh, and in case this is relevant, it's on a 1920x1200 LCD Laptop Display

The panel background is the cause. See details in bug 325673.
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2006-01-22 21:35:36 UTC 
This is a libwnck issue. We're not counting the focus_width when shadowtype = none.
Also, when the user clicks on a line between two workspaces, nothing happens.
