> We do not consider Gnome's defaults in this area unreasonable. That no longer surprises me.
Ubuntu apparently has stopped fighting the idiotic decisions taken by Gnome upstream. You are no longer patching the type-ahead-triggers-search madness, you refused to restore the "open with" submenu, you have embraced the reversed sorting icons, and the list goes on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887296 Title: Moving popup windows drags the application's main window behind it Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Sometimes programs open a "popup" or a "secondary", "child" window, I don't know what the word is. For example, in Chrome, if I right-click on an image in a web page and choose "Save As", this will open a new file browser window that allows me to browse for a directory to save the image to. Until Ubuntu 16.04, I could move that child window around by dragging it by its title bar, and that would not move around the parent window behind it. Now, it does. That is, the "parent" window greyes out, and moving the "child" window (i.e. the popup) on the foreground causes the parent window in the background to move as if they were glued together. In the above example, if I drag around the "Save As" window, the Chrome window behind it moves too. Even worse, if the parent window is maximized, it will "oppose resistance" to the dragging of the popup window, and if I drag far enough, the parent window will unmaximize and unblock the movement of both windows. It's pure madness. I can't imagine a scenario where this is the unavoidable consequence of some improvement. It looks like it is by design. Why? What were you thinking? Why do you ACTIVELY work to degrade usability and make the users' life miserable?? Here's a very real-life example: As mentioned above, I right-click on something in the browser (like an image or a video) and do Save As. When the file browser window opens, it covers the content of the web page from which I was saving the content. Maybe I want to move the child window in order to reveal the web page that I was visiting in the first place, because the context (which I haven't memorized in full in my brain just yet) helps me choose a file name for the very file I'm saving. Another example: I am browsing some folder in Nautilus. I right-click on a file or folder inside it, and open Properties. That opens in a popup. Now I want to have another look at the name of the file I selected (of which I'm now seeing the properties), and those around it, because I'm wondering if I chose the wrong file, or for whatever other reason. I can't do taht without closing the Properties window. The everyday examples are countless. This is idiotic. Seriously, what are you doing?
