MB_Helper in X11 Server (Bug/Feature request)

Open RalfWerner opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Inserting both *_HELPER into the EK Setup works well but unfortunately the display often disappears when the screen configuration is changed. I used x11 version 4e7763b and took three shots on two devices each, which can be repeated.

  • The first three are from a Moto/Lenovo phone. In the first two shots, the setup and display is with fluxbox + aterm XClients but without a stylus. In the third, with split screen without display. The same effect can also be achieved by switching on a fixed on-screen KB or rotation to landscape. The last x11 version that allowed 'STYLUS_HELPER' on this device was 1e7857c. There is also a video for the device, in which EK problems can be seen.
  • The second three shots are from a Samsung Pad with Pop-View. Setup as before and display with both *_HELPER. In shots 2+3 both menus disappear due to on-screen KB and PopView reduction.

In order to be able to use the menus, they must appear on the screen. Once you understand the algorithm, you can use a workaround to move the menus so that they remain visible after changing the screen configuration. You could *_HELPER also consider as two pre/post-MB selections. In that case, there would be no need to reduce the menus to stylus and trackpad.
