#297 closed defect (fixed)
Index finger (Browse link) pointer's active point is too low
| Reported by: | FGrose | Owned by: | erikos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | Unspecified by Maintainer | Milestone: | |
| Component: | Sugar | Version: | 0.84.x |
| Severity: | Critical | Keywords: | Browse Cursor |

Description
The index finger pointer has an active point that is at the 2nd and 3rd-finger-knuckle height instead of the extreme fingertip.
(Observed on Soas-200902022242.iso with a 1280x1024 display.)
For closely-separated text lines with links, the fingertip can be over my desired link, but the lower link will be activated.
The upper edge of the standard pointer holds the active point, so as the pointer image changes, the shift in active point is confusing, and frustrating smooth navigation over the link field.

Simon confirmed same problem in native F11 Sugar.
Cursor selected from Sugar theme.

Reproduce:
- Use Browse
- hover slowly over a link until the cursor changes
- the pointing finger should be at the position you were hovering - but it is already over half of the link
Benzea - any idea?

Hm, the hotspot/active point is in the wrong location, but it does seem like it is correct in sugar-artwork.
Maybe some mozilla weirdness?

<benzea> erikos: I have not tested it live, but the hot points it spits out don't have the same x/y coordinate for every cursor now ;-)

I patched icon-slicer and rebuild sugar-artwork - and it works awesomly here! Benzea - do you know the icon-slicer maintainer and can ping him?

Has been fixed in the F11 icon-slicer package. Other distributions should do the same.

We shouldn't really track distro issues here.
Walter reports no problem in XO builds or jhbuild on Ubuntu. So may be specific to SoaS builds where it is present at various resolutions in VirtualBox as well.
