It nukes the titlebar (hence document title) for all non-CSD applications (not just LibreOffice) and I've seen it break the behavior/workflow of such apps. And it can be buggy on its own, too (from my previous experience; even now I can see it is reportedly broken, unsurprisingly*) Whatsmore, believe it or not, there are multiple other desktop environments outside of GNOME that benefit from client-side decorations and wish to have apps that use them, so you can't just say "oh, just use a GNOME Shell extension". In UI/toolbar layouts where no menubar is used, client-side decorations are an overall better design, especially on laptop screens. They're just measurably more space-efficient, no matter how you look at them. If it were just me, in a theoretical world, I would not make it an option and would just say, "This is how it is, *one* code path that's 100% tested & maintained", but I know this is not how it works here, and that y'all have to deal with the nightmare of 7 different UI layouts ;) with that said, Christian is dedicated enough to accept the complexity of making it optional instead of a single code path for the notebookbars... so at this point, let's please not be "stop energy" discouraging new contributors like him from trying to solve a design problem the right way (in the app, rather than the window manager). I'm very grateful for someone finally attempting an implementation for this, so thank you Christian. *: GNOME Shell "extensions" break all the time since there is no API ("extensions" are just duck-taping hacks live on top of a moving foundation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
