Manual Release required between GNOME and XFCE #125
Comments
Xfce needs X11 input capture to be able to recognize when the pointer leaves the screen, which is not yet implemented. So this is expected at the moment. |
Thanks for replying @feschber and for the heads up. Is it worth having a matrix or something similar in the README of current limitations between desktops? I think in my naivety coming from barrier that the behavior is somewhat ingrained into my head. Obviously hopping between different desktop APIs is going to encompass a number of challenges that might need to be spelled out to dummies like myself :') |
Yeah I may want to update this to be a bit more clear about what input capture and input emulation means https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse?tab=readme-ov-file#os-support |
Going between GNOME Shell 46.0 and XFCE 4.18. XFCE is running on 0.7.2 bin at the moment, where as my Ubuntu machine is compiled from source (however switching to a precompiled binary the behaviour is still the same).
I'm able to go to either desktop fine, but it requires a key-press release each time to get back to GNOME. I would like to get to a state of just being able to move to either monitor without this. Would just like to validate if this just a current limitation at the moment, or something I need to fix elsewhere.
I did find similar issues (#94) but these appeared fixed in newer versions so assumed its something I'm doing or I am just misinterpreting the behavior.
Best!
