[Bug 277195] Re: Mouse scroll wheel moves between desktops when over parts of application windows

[Kai Jauch]

Still an issue in Ubuntu 9.04. Scrolling when the mouse cursor is
between GTK widgets and compiz is active causes a workspace switch.

I don't know whether compiz really is to blame here as metacity (to my
knowledge) doesn't support changing the workspace by scrolling while
hovering over the desktop. If anyone knows a method to determine if
compiz really is the cause of the problem and not just making the
problem visible, please feel free to post a comment.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start rhytmbox
2. Position mouse cursor in the small area between the track position slider and the text label above it
3. Scroll mouse wheel

Expected result:
- Nothing happens

Actual result:
- Compiz gets the scroll event and switches to another workspace, as if the mouse cursor was directly over the desktop


compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8
