Switch work space via mouse wheel scroll not working consistently (seems to have to do with fullscreen / maximize) about custom-hot-corners-extended HOT 7 OPEN

Okay, so I've switched to wayland now from x11 and the issue seems to be gone...feel free to close; I'll report back if it returns but so far it seems it might've been xorg-related.

This behavior has been introduced in GS 40, it used to be reliable before. That's why I added the "Reset all triggers" item to the CHC-E's panel menu, but it doesn't always help. I'm not sure what exactly triggers this behavior in the fullscreen mode. GS 40+ cannot even open the overview when the display is in the fullscreen mode, I had to work around that.

Ah, I've been wondering why the panel menu was added...unfortunately, when the issue occurs while using the "fullscreen on empty WS" function, resetting doesn't fix it, at least in my attempts so far.
I'll report back if I find out how to reliably trigger the bug.

Another interesting anecdote: mouse scroll reliably doesn't work to switch WS if there is a file transfer ongoing and I have clicked the status button in Nautilus to see how much time remains for the transfer, or making Nautilus open any other "info window", such as when clicking on the preferences button, even without an ongoing file transfer. When clicking somewhere else such that this "info window" disappears, it works again.
Not a big deal though.

Any menu or context popup grabs all mouse events from the entire screen, so the CHC-E cannot get them.

Ah, good to know...I can't verify whether this issue is still a problem btw., so feel free to close. Reading my previous comments it seems like it was X11-specific, so if someone uses X11 and sees this issue, please comment to track it.

The initial issue can likely be resolved by the Disable unredirect fullscreen windows extension. In the default configuration, the GNOME compositor manages regular windows, while in the case of fullscreen windows, the compositor is bypassed, allowing direct handling by the graphics card and resulting in improved performance.
