Selecting an area on the desktop is broken on multi-monitor setups in X11

It seems this is caused by the fix for bug 1922211:

https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/merge_requests/89

Oh. Maybe it was caused by https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/merge_requests/88

It appears the fix for bug 1925095 also resolved this issue.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng - 0.17.0-1ubuntu1

Here's the fix for hirsute.

I haven't updated salsa git yet because it seems to be broken right now, for unrelated reasons.

Sponsored to hirsute.

Gunnar,

There's nothing in hirsute proposed yet. Are you sure it's queued?

Yes. It's waiting for the SRU team approval here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hirsute/+queue?queue_state=1

Hello Martin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng/0.15.0-0ubuntu4.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I just updated to hirsuite-proposed. 0.15.0-0ubuntu4.1 fixes the issue of the offset rubber band.

However, it doesn't fix a related but smaller issue: The monitor that I'm *not* doing the selection on gets a thin orange line on the edge adjacent to the monitor that I *am* doing the selection on. Attached is a screenshot where I'm making a selection on the left screen, so the leftmost edge of the right screen gets an orange line. This issue was also present before the update though, and is visible in my original post's screenshot. This might be a completely unrelated problem which deserves its own issue thread.

Fix verified in 0.15.0-0ubuntu4.1.

Martin, please open a new bug for the issue you describe.
