Tasklist should conform to fitts law
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: Gnome Tasklist Version: 1.1.3cvs (17-02-2000) Severity: wishlist The Tasklist should conform to Fitt's Law such that it should accept click on the very edge of the screen to correspond to the task next to the click. Fitt's Law says something along the lines of "the five most important parts of the screen are at the four edges of the screen and where the cursor is at the moment." The reasoning is that the four edges of the screen have infinite depth such that when your cursor hits the edge, and your mouse keeps going, it stays there. Therefore, they are in fact the largest spaces on the screen. (This was fixed in the panel itself, but there are little buffers of space in the Tasklist. ------- Bug moved to this database by debbugs-export@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-01-27 14:59 ------- This bug was previously known as bug 6336 at http://bugs.gnome.org/ http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6336 Originally filed under the gnome-core product and general component.
