Window Switcher Functionality Failing in Small Portion of Top-Right Corner of UI


Posted on Mar 12, 2011 by Happy Hippo

Chrome OS Version : 0.11.257.3 (Official Build) dev-channel x86-mario Chrome Version : 11.0.696.7 (Official Build 77741) Type of computer : Cr-48 Network info : NA

Please specify Area-* of the system to which this bug/feature applies. UI What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Slide the cursor to the top right corner of the UI (where the Window Switcher icon is) 2. Click 3.

What is the expected output? I expect to see a different window than the one I'm currently looking at

What do you see instead? The same window

Please provide any additional information below. Poking around a little, I get the impression there is a basically a small upside-down L shape of non-functionality for this feature (about halfway left on the top of the icon and all the way down the right of the icon). I assume this is a bug because the biggest benefit of having the icon to me seems to be the quick flick and click capability -- at the moment, I have to take another second or so to hover my cursor over a working section.

We are going to change this functionality in the next few builds, it should be less confusing.

Has this functionality been changed yet? If so, I'm confused about how: I especially like what Caleb said about Fitts's law in Issue 13389.

I'd love an explanation or an explanation and a time line.

Thanks.

I don't know what the resolution meant either. Maybe that the window switcher may go away at some point? (Nothing concrete about this, as far as I'm aware.) I'm going to reopen issue 13389, since it's a bit more general.
