GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 761709
Option to disable Hot Corner
Last modified: 2018-01-24 15:14:23 UTC
Though some may find it useful, I find the Activities Overview Hot Corner feature very annoying (when my mouse goes over the Activities Overview button it opens up even if I do not click it) and I am forced to install a third-party extension in order to disable it, but I would much rather it if I could just disable it in the gnome-tweak-tool so I really think that there should be an option to do it. Because some may like it, but you should understand that some may not and it is the sort of feature you should allow users to disable without having to install third-party extensions to do so. I initially filed a report on this issue here, but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak-tool/+bug/1543099
Tweak Tool is basically a front-end to various existing configuration settings. Until GNOME Shell provides an option to disable this feature, I don't see what we can really do in Tweak Tool. Feel free to file a new bug or reopen this one if gnome-shell provides that option in the future.
How about I file a new report under gnome-shell asking for such a feature?
Sure. Good luck! :)
(In reply to Jeremy Bicha from comment #3) > Sure. Good luck! :) Thanks, I have filed a new report as bug #783571.
Ok, I'm reopening this since there's a proposed patch for gnome-shell for this issue. Thanks for your help!
Hi Jeremy, The commit here (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-tweak-tool/commit/?id=29073dd8a70e577bfada31861588eb766fd86928) says "for Ubuntu", so does that mean this option won't show up on other distros?
Peter, if a distro wants to grab the bugzilla patch mentioned in that commit, they are welcome to uncomment the one line in gnome-tweak-tool too. Otherwise, it's still Ubuntu-only since the gnome-shell patch hasn't been committed to git master yet.
