mouse position is being detected wrongly in unity places

[Omer Akram]

unity 0.2.38
in files place or applications places if there is a scrollbar and I scroll a bit down so that a few icons scroll up. if I hover the cursor over the search field while the icons are behind it. dash assumes there is no search field or categories and shows the hover effect on the half visible icons

please see the video.

this is a short and clearer video. even the panel area is transparent to clicks

Hey Omer, this looks like there is a complete mess up in the picking mode :/ I'm unable to reproduce it at all on my laptop, with 0.2.42 or trunk.

If it still happens with a fully updated system, could you confirm

1. You are not running with CLUTTER_VBLANK=none
2. What graphics card and drivers your runing
3. Your running a Unity session from GDM, and not the test mode of `unity -p`

Thanks, I'll mark as incomplete pending the answers to these questions.

No

intel on my netbook and nvidia on the PC

Running the UNE session

To reproduce open applications place so that there is a scrollbar. scroll the icons down a bit so that a few are behind the category list and search bar. hover there.

it seems this problem is more intense than I had imagined as it leads to opening an app accidently while one intends to click on a category :(

Seems to happen in the quicklist too, look at the duplicate.

The issue seems to be related to the 1-pixel issue that is tracked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614945

Thanks again for reporting this bug. As we're going to move over to the new Unity view's implementation of places in the coming weeks, which uses a completely different input model which I am confident won't suffer from these issues, I'm going to mark this as Won't Fix for the Unity 0.2 series.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

closing the package bug as wontfix too since its not going to be fixed upstream for 0.2 series
