Wow, nice catch. This makes Unity 7 work 100 times better for me now, and it solves some additional bugs in addition to the ones mentioned above:
- Nautilus copy progress window doesn't hide or get lost altogether - Apps that were hidden into the system tray (Clementine, SpiderOak, Pidgin, etc.) used to restore to the dock, but not actually appear if another app was maximized. This required restoring and then clicking on the dock icon to actually make it visible. With focus prevention set to off it works correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403140 Title: Consider setting default for "Focus prevention windows" to false Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Is the current default of "low" actually doing anything positive?
