Bug ID: 503550
Summary: Cursor Position and Touch/Stylus Input Methods
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m1vri...@duck.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Mouse position after touch or pen input, while hidden for the user, is still
passed to applications.
This is very annoying, for example, when scrolling through Netflix or a similar
UI which has autoplay previews upon mouse hover. If the mouse was over the
window when you last moved it, it will constantly start up those auto-previews
under the (hidden) cursor, despite touching, scrolling etc. elsewhere on the
screen. It is very annoying and affects touchscreen usability in all kinds of
situations.
Ideally although I don't know if it is possible, cursor position would be
completely erased globally upon the completion of touch or stylus input,
because it just doesn't make sense to have a constant cursor position with
those input methods, let alone a cursor position different to the most recent
input (via touch or pen).
If there is a non-KDE tool, library etc. that is in control of this I'd love to
know so I can enter a bug report there.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Position the mouse on the screen
2. Use touchscreen or stylus to interact elsewhere on the screen
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor disappears, but still has an effect on anything that uses cursor
position.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor disappears, cursor position is either ignored or refers to the last
touchscreen or stylus input. When mouse is moved again, it should still be
where you left it, despite cursor position not being passed to apps after touch
or pen input.
