[HIG] Controls sensitivity in full screen mode #268

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Watch a video in full screen.
2. Move your mouse to the lower right corner (of your screen, the very
bottomright pixel)
3. Try to toggle "Full screen" off.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect to hit the "Full screen" button to toggle it back to windowed.
The problem is that the button doesn't extend all the way to the edges.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.7

Please provide any additional information below.
I don't think this is covered by the GNOME HIG, but it is the common
guideline. For example gnome-panel and totem both adhere to this standard.
(Just move an applet all the way left or right and try to click it at the
furthest edges of your screen, they will respond.)

Actually this applies to all the controls in full screen mode, not just the
"Full screen" toggle button. The player controls and the progress indicator
should all be accessible from the edges. If I move my mouse to the very
bottom of my screen, clicking there should make the progress jump, but
currently it does nothing (there seems to be a label there that just says
"Playing", which in itself seems pretty useless.)

Thanks for an excellent video player!

Never seen this "requirement" before and on my dual screen display even 
gnome-panel
doesn't always do it...  I'll look into it and see what is required to deal 
with this.

Current gnome does not do this anymore. Closing request.

That's Gnome 2.30, and you are mistaken.
Both the panel and Totem still exhibit this behavior, and no matter if they did 
not, it is still a good idea.

There are bugs about this in the Gnome bugzilla. This behavior is not an 
accident.

The most valuable spots on the screen are the corners, because that's the 
easiest spots to move your cursor. You can not deny this.

You can not deny the fact, I mean. Obviously you can deny the bug report, it is 
your project.

But Totem works this way.
