The good news on this one is that Jason is currently targeting this bug for unity 4.26.0 SRU1 so hopefully it will be fixed soon. thanks for the bug report! cheers, John -- John Lea | Ubuntu Desktop User Experience Lead Canonical www.canonical.com | Ubuntu www.ubuntu.com 27th Floor, 21-24 Millbank Tower, London, SW1P 4QP Tel: +44 (0) 20 7630 2415 | Email: john@canonical.com ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ayatana] Proposes to change launcher's behaviour with multiple windows
The problem I want to fix is that the launcher handles multiple windows of the same program extremely poorly. Open 2 terminal windows, then open a window on top of both of them, so both windows are hidden (eg a typical multi-tasking environment), try opening 1 of the windows back up through the launcher, and not a random window either, the actual terminal window you want first time, it makes windows xp multi-tasking look good. - ikt - Original Message - From: Jo-Erlend Schinstad joerlend.schins...@gmail.com To: ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Sent: Wednesday, 19 October, 2011 2:21:25 AM Subject: Re: [Ayatana] Proposes to change launcher's behaviour with multiple windows Den 18. okt. 2011 17:38, skrev David: In my opinion, every icon that has multiple windows should work as a stack, popping up the most recently used window from that group, one at a time instead of the whole group.

To replicate: 1. Open a libreoffice writer document and write 1 on the page. 2. Open another and write 2 3. Open firefox 4. Go to the writer document and make sure you are working on the document with the 1 on the page. 5. Click on the firefox launcher icon 6. Click on the libreoffice writer icon What happens: The libreoffice writer document labeled 2 is opened What should happen: The libreoffice writer document labeled 1 is opened This becomes very annoying when trying to quickly switch between 2 windows, as I have to double click the writer icon and open the correct window.

Select one of the explorer windows. Click on the web browser icon on the launcher. Click on the explorer icon on the launcher. Try this several times. You'll notice that all explorer windows are brought to top and most likely the last window your were at is not the one that is active. It also, sometimes, gives focus to a window that is below the others and their order is random.

Re: [Ayatana] Proposes to change launcher's behaviour with multiple windows
2011/9/27 matt m.richardson.1...@hotmail.co.uk I have already submitted a bug for the fact that the last active window is not necessarily the one which receives focus when switching between applications with multiple windows. https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/854643 I agree that bringing the whole group up can be annoying. Particularly when trying to drag and drop between applications. For example: I have two nautilus windows, one occupying the left half of the screen (say a removable device), one occupying the right (say my documents folder). I also have a firefox window maximised, but behind the two nautilus windows. I want to drag a file from the removable device into my documents folder and then upload it to a website by drag and drop. I drag and drop from the removable device to documents fine. But now, I click on firefox, which covers both nautilus windows. So I click on nautilus, which brings up both windows, covering the firefox window. It means I must either move or close one of the nautilus windows to achieve what I want. This is a very real annoyance that I encounter all the time when working with files and multiple windows. Copy paste and file attachements can quickly become a pain. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
