** Description changed: - Hello! I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu Gutsy, and I'm currently - quite pleased with how Compiz works. + When a new window is created and you have a fullscreen window the new + window gets focus but is still hidden behind the fullscreen window. - (I had Gutsy before (re-installed after some hardware problems), but - Compiz didn't work very well, probably because of cruft accumulated - through upgrades all the way from Dapper.) + Steps to reproduce: + 1. Open gnome-terminal + 2. Make the terminal window fullscreen (F11) + 3. Open a new terminal window with Ctrl-Alt-N - Now Compiz works great, and after a bit of configuring I'm actually more - pleased with it than I ever was with Metacity. However, there are still - a few kinks related to full-screen windows that I can't get around. I - use full-screen windows a lot, so this is rather annoying. + Result: + A new window is (correctly) opened, it is given focus (correctly), but it's behind the fullscreen window. - (Note that I have disabled "unredirect fullscreen windows" because of - other issues, so every window should be treated the same way now. Compiz - runs on the "intel" driver, if that affects anything. Also, when I say - full-screen, I mean it, not just maximize.) + Expected: + The new window should be on top of the stack or at least not get focus. - 1) New windows appear below the fullscreen windows. - How to reproduce: - a) open Firefox (or a terminal or anything else) - b) put the window in fullscreen mode (F11 works by default with Firefox and the terminal, but I have set Compiz to do that for every window). - c) open a new window (I have the terminal on Start-T, but with Firefox you can use Ctrl-N, and with terminal Ctrl-Shift-T.) - Results: a new window is (correctly) opened, it is given focus (correctly), but it's behind the full-screen window. - Expected: the new window should be on top of the stack. - - I have to press Alt-Tab twice (first to return to the full-screen - window, second to get to the newly-opened window) to get it to display. - - EDIT: Note that this happens for _every_ kind of new window that should - appear on top, including dialogs opened by the full-screen window, which - is the most annoying thing (think of save-to dialogs, exit - confirmations, etc). - - 2) Windows disappear when dragged over a full-screen window. - How to reproduce: - a) open a small window (a terminal) - b) open Firefox (or another terminal or anything else) - c) put the second window in fullscreen mode - d) alt-tab to the first window (non-fullscreen) - You should have now the full-screen window on the whole screen, and exactly one window above it. - e) drag the small window by left-clicking on its title-bar. - Results: the window fades out (only the full-screen window is displayed). However, the move _does_ work (the moved window changes position), and the window doesn't loose focus (alt-tab returns to the full-screen window, and another alt-tab to the moved window). - Strangely, if I use Alt+drag to move the window (that's a Compiz feature, I think it's enabled by default), the window doesn't disappear. - - - Any ideas? + Note that this happens for _every_ kind of new window that should appear + on top, including dialogs opened by the fullscreen window, which is the + most annoying thing (think of Save dialogs, exit confirmations, etc).
