"programs like chromium - since there's no border, there is no obvious way of
moving them between activities. (alt+f3 menu is not commonly known)" (quote
from the commit that Martin Flöser uses as rationale to not fix this problem)

Oh my freaking God! Is this the reason why I've endured this plague? So I
shouldn't think of this as a bug but is actually supposed to be a kind and
benelovent **coughing coughing** feature that I should be grateful for?

You place the borderless window in ALL activities because you're being so
considerate and kind towards the novice user since they won't otherwise know
how to place the window in all activities by themselves? Did it every freaking
occur to you that the same user will by the same reason be clueless as to how
restrict the window to only the current activity!?!?!?

If that novice user won't know how to place the borderless window in all
activities since the window border isn't there, then how how do you freaking
suppose he will be able to restrict the window to only the current activity
when you are being so smart as to splash it over all activities?

Do you know anything at all about computer human interface design?? Like
anything at all, or are you just working at random!?! If you know some then you
should know that one of the holy grails of this topic is FREAKING USER EXPECTED
SYSTEM BEHAVIOUR and that you DO NOT mess with this unless you have an
extremely good reason, something which you have clearly lacked for the last six
years since you were as kind to introduce this nice "feature".

What is the user's expectation of system behaviour when he opens a borderless
window/app? It is that the window/app should be placed in the CURRENT ACTIVITY
only! Why is this the correct answer? Because this is the DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR
when the user opens a window/app that has a border! Since a window/app with a
border is placed in the current activity, and since 99.999% of all windows/apps
that the user opens have a border (and this applies especially to novice
users), this makes the user's expected system behaviour to be that ALL
windows/apps are placed in the current activity where they were opened!

How much more clearly does this have to be stated?
