Title:
Global menu focus bug in newly launched fullscreen apps
Status in Unity:
New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you have a fullscreen app in focus, and open a new app, like
nautilus, and it happens to open fullscreen as well this issue occurs.
Now don't click and focus on the newly opened app and try close it
immediately, maybe you opened the wrong one by mistake. What happens
is that despite the new app being fullscreen the global menu is not
focused on the new app yet still focused on the old app, when you try
closing it with the global menu buttons you actually end up closing
the app in the background and not the app which is currently
fullscreen. I first picked up this issue when creating USB boot disks.
After you format the USB stick nautilus will automount the drive and
open itself as fullscreen. You know you don't need that window so you
close it immediately with the global menu close button. Now you close
USB disk creator instead and nautilus stays open causing you to start
all over again, open disk creator, mount the image etc etc. time
wasted.
This should be fixed so that when an application open fresh as
fullscreen global menu should immediately focus on it and not the
previous app below it. it would avoid a lot of frustration and
incorrectly closing the wrong app. This happens to me at least once a
day if not more. I have to now train myself to always first click the
new app, somewhere, to get focus so that it may be closed.
Thanks
