Change desktop on left border of a maximized windows, an anormal behavior.

[hal1984]

Binary package hint: human-theme

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 6 updated at the moment of this report.
The version of human-theme package is 0.27

Compiz need to be enabled with the normal settings (mouse scroll to change desktop).
If you maximize a window , per example, Firefox, you expect that whole the screen, border left and border right capture the scroll of the mouse wheel, in order, per example, move up/down the web you are viewing.
The problem is that if you move the mouse pointer to the border left of the screen with the maximized windows (and without other windows behind) then the mouse scroll event is captured by the desktop and change the desktop number.

I checked the problem is in the archive "/usr/share/themes/Human/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml" from package. In the line 28

  <distance name="left_width" value="1"/>

the maximized windows is keeping a pixel that is captured by the desktop. I followed the bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/99508 and I think it was a workaround that now isn't working(as many people have posted) and have introduce this new bug. If the value is set to 0 (and also botton_height to 0, to prevent the same in the botton side) then this bug is over.

A clip of the bug. I only use the keyboard changing "1" to "0"

This bug happens also in the NewHuman theme.

value="1" was introduced as a workaround for bug 99508. Since the workaround doesn't work in Intrepid for some reason, it's worth considering removing it since it's at least an annoyance, and at most a hindrance to usability.

Workaround removed with human-theme 0.28.3
