Bug Description
See also: bug 987787
Release: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Unity Version: 5.10.0-0ubuntu6
Expected: Sticky edges turns off when the switch is set to Off
Actual: Sticky edges remains on regardless of switch position
I've got two dual monitors running as an extended desktop. By default the Launcher placement property is set to "All Displays" and sticky edges is set to "On".
I like having the launcher on both desktops, but sticky edges is driving me nuts. So, naturally, I turned off sticky edges and left the launcher on all displays. Unfortunately, it seems that the On/Off switch for sticky edges serves no purpose when Launcher Placement is set to "All Displays".
The option to disable sticky edges in this scenario should be allowed, or at the very least the On/Off switch should be disabled and forced to "On" as to not confuse the user.
