Hello. I am not going to stay subscribed to this ML after my issue is solved. Using E17 since ... almost 17 or 18y ? and I had always set it to select window under the pointer. Always worked fine, whatever the monitor count. Since my last installation (december 2021) there is an edge case where it does not. When I have several monitors, windows belongs to right monitor, extended to both, covers a windows on left monitor, and move cursor from the pure left window, to the win that covers both monitor. In this specific case, the larg window is selected for an instant, then loses focus. This is ennoying because to focus the win, I can't just move the cursor 100 pixels, I have to move it to the other monitor ... far far far away. This prevents me using small touchpad/trackpoint for focus change. Is it a bug, or a configuration issue ? How to fix ? *** I also happen to loose the cursor from time to time; that bug had been existing 15y ago for window placement and window move, and a specific feature had been added to fix it "window recovery"; the feature had been later removed because the core code became solid enough to never let the issue happen again. But now, I have it with the cursor: when monitors don't have the same size, it may happen, a few times a day, that moving the cursor from the bigger monitor, to the smaller one, via the "step", traps the cursor into the black zone. Never could find a good repro; and it's pretty hard to liberate the mouse out of the prison. But sometimes, the cursor get trapped outside of the visible space, in the VOID. -- >o_/ DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre (aka DoubleHP) http://benoit.demaine.info/ If computing were an exact science, IT engineers would'nt have work \_o< "So all that's left, Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf."
