2019-09-19 00:38:39 user 76543456789 description I have the dock on the left side of my screen. When I continuously move the cursor along the left edge of the screen the dock can't decide whether to hide or show and starts to jump in and out. It's a single screen setup, MBP 2015 Retina, and because of that I have "scale for menu and title bars" set to 2 in ubuntu system settings. Therefore my best guess was initially that the culprit was integer rounding errors in subpixel calculations, but it looks to be incorrect. I noticed that the issue only appears when I use the force touch trackpad, and not when I use my logitech usb mouse. I don't know how to provide meaningful info about the trackpad though. All I know is that the speed at which I use the trackpad is key. The slower I move the worse it gets. If I move quickly the behavior is pretty much normal. Distribution Ubuntu 16.04, pretty much vanilla Window manager The default, compiz I guess...
