Title:
it should be possible to maximize any window using (using F8)
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu Precise Development Branch. 12.04
Further to Bug report #964685 - I am advised that the following
behaviour is caused by Compiz.
1. Start live cd - click desktop to change background to suitable
colour. Facility to maximise window using Alt F8 has is greyed out -
needs to re restored to meet accessibility standards - and should be
working in the beta. This accessibility feature is present in 10.04.4
through to 11.10 (verified today) - and should still be present in
12.04. It should not have been removed or deprecated under Gnome
shell/3 or Unity - or for testing purposes.
Issue visible in screen print - attached.
Issue affects multiple windows from Boot of live CD and through
Install process and in installed system.
Numerous people with visual and neurodiveristy disabilities need the
ability to maximise these windows to allow concentration on single
task with minimal image/background noise.
Window sizes may be presented inline with branding guidelines - but
they should retain accessibility feature for those who need it and
require it. It is acceptable for maximise option to be greyed out
provided alternate Alt F8 is available. Presently basic accessibility
standards compromised.
