Bug Description

I have setup the desktop cube rotation mouse initiation to <LeftEdge><RightEdge>Button1. This give a very intuitive way of rotating the desktop cube when using my ThinkPad Yoga in tablet mode, without keyboard.

There are however a few issues in combination with touch or pen, when rotation is initiated on a desktop with a program running in full screen mode. The cube rotates wildly when touching or pointing near left or right edge.

I cannot demonstrate this behavior using the mouse, only when using touch or pen input. Touch and pen input works nicely, and I see no other issues with the pointer coordinates from these input devices.

After a bit more investigation, it appears not to be related to just full screen application, but rather related to some pointer coordinate changes being dine during rotation. I will post a link to a YouTube video demonstrating the phenomenon.

Please note that the desktop screen resolution was set very low to minimize video file size. Problem is the same as in high resolution.
