Disconnect Bluetooth Mouse not Reenabling Touchpad #47

Closed lvlanson closed 4 years ago

lvlanson commented 4 years ago

When disconnecting a bluetooth mouse (Logitech Anywhere 2s) Touchpad Indicator does not snap back to the touchpad mouse.

askmrsinh commented 4 years ago

When you say "disconnect" do you mean that the dongle (USB bluetooth adapter) is unplugged?

lvlanson commented 4 years ago

There is no bluetooth dongle attached to the notebook. The notebook uses its own bluetooth device. If I switch off bluetooth, disconnect the mouse via the laptop or switch off the mouse itself, touch pad indicator does not snap back to touchpad mode.

Okay, got it. Have you tried using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Super + Alt + T)? The extension is not designed to work with in-built bluetooth devices.

That being said, I can try to make it compatible. Please tell me a bit more about the setup, I need:

  1. Extension version
  2. Switching method in use
  3. Gnome shell version
  4. At least N: Name= and P: Phys= lines from output for cat /proc/bus/input/devices
  5. Logs from the extension

  1. Gnome Extension Version: 3.34.3
  2. Switching Method: Disconnecting Bluetooth
  3. Gnome Shell Version: 3.34.3

I am getting a similar mouse with in-built bluetooth (ie. no usb dongle). I guess the extension can watch the state of currently connected bluetooth devices to detect disconnects and enable/disable the touchpad accordingly.

I verified this with the new hardware. When you disconnect the mouse (ie, toggle the hardware switch to 'off'), it should immediately be picked up by the laptop's Bluetooth. If that's not the case, it's and issue outside the extension's control. You can always use the toggle keys Ctrl + Super + Alt + T to force enable/disable the touchpad.
