            Bug ID: 338206
           Summary: Mouse clicks at the top edge of the screen are no
                    longer recognized
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PCLinuxOS
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: microngust@hotmail.com

Today I upgraded from KDE 4.12.x to 4.13.3 and I would like to report a
regression that's causing mouse clicks to be ignored along the screen edges.

I'll give three examples of where I frequently click along the edges of the
screen:

* When I want to close a maximized window, I quickly move the mouse to the top
right corner of the screen and then click, but the window no longer closes.
Previously, I could close a window like this without even looking and now I
have to carefully move the mouse pointer to the close button and click on it,
making sure that I don't move the mouse beyond the edge of the screen. (This
now happens with Oxygen and all other decorations that I've tried.)

* To activate the application launcher menu, I quickly move the mouse to the
bottom left corner and click, but the menu no longer gets displayed. Again, I
used to do this without looking but now I have to make an effort to not move
the mouse beyond the edge of the screen.

* When I have a window that's maximized and I want to restore it, I quickly
move my mouse to the top of the screen and double-click, but the window no
longer gets restored. Instead, I have to carefully move the pointer within the
titlebar and double-click to restore the window.

* When I have a window that's maximized vertically, I quickly move the mouse to
the top of the screen and double-click but the window no longer gets maximized.
Before I could do this without hardly looking, but now I have to carefully move
the pointer within the titlebar and then double click to maximize the window.

I've done some experimentation and I've found that if I slowly move the pointer
to the top edge of the screen, and when the cursor changes to a double arrow, a
double-click is recognized. However, if I move the mouse slightly higher the
cursor changes back to the regular arrow and now a double-click is ignored. On,
KDE 4.12, when I moved the pointer to the top of the screen it would change to
a double arrow and a double-click would maximize the window. It almost seems
like in KDE 4.13, an additional border is drawn around my entire screen and if
I move the mouse logically outside of that boarder, mouse clicks are ignored.
