            Bug ID: 421040
           Summary: Mouse warp effect can't be disabled
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: nfxjfg at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

If you move the mouse out of the screen while dragging the document, the mouse
will be moved to the opposite end of the screen, so you can "continue"
dragging.(Strangely only on the top or bottom, doesn't happen on the
left/right.)

That may be a useful feature for some. But I find it annoying, because by desk
doesn't extend endlessly. The mouse pointer may be able to go on endlessly with
this, but in the end I just have to physically lift my mouse to "reset" its
position.

If anything, I think the windowing system should allow you to move the mouse
out of the screen, and clamp/reset the position only once you release the mouse
button. But that's out of scope. It's notable that if the window is not
fullscreened, you simply can move the mouse out of the window while dragging,
and the mouse warp only happens when the mouse pointer goes outside of the
actual screen.

Okular is the only application I encountered that does this.

An option to disable this effect. Maybe even enabled by default.
