Re: [Ayatana-dev] Annoying Unity bug - windows moving when on edge of workspace
On 09/26/2011 02:14 AM, Stephen Rees-Carter wrote: Hi all, There is a Unity bug which has been annoying me since Natty, that I'd love to see get some attention and fixed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/834248 Non-maximized windows which sit on the bottom edge of the lower workspaces shift downwards when called from an upper workspace. This results in the bottom of the window wrapping into the top of the upper workspace, and the focus stays on the same workspace. The window is now unusable, and you need to manually move to the bottom workspace to move the window back up. This is a big problem because it makes the snap-to-side feature completely useless. You have to drag the window to the side to half-screen it, and then drag the bottom border up slightly so it's got a margin between the border and the workspace edge so it doesn't move. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Go to your BOTTOM RIGHT workspace 2. Open a window (i.e. Nautilus, etc) 3. Drag the window right to activate the snap-to-side feature and let it resize the window to full half the screen 4. Go to your TOP RIGHT workspace 5. Click on the window you opened in #2 icon in the launcher 6. The window you created in #2 will be moved 'down' so the bottom strip of it will appear in the top right of your current workspace 7. Go to your BOTTOM RIGHT workspace and you will see it's now sitting off the bottom of the workspace. I previously reported this bug for Natty too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/755842 It's pretty annoying, and if you use the 'snap-to-side' feature like I do, then you'll quickly find it painfully annoying. I would love it is someone could take the time to take a look and work out how we can get it fixed. Hi Stephen, Thanks for your passion on this subject :-) We can't generally handle bug requests on this mailing list (if we did we'd see dozens of mails daily). However if you want to work on this yourself you can use this list to talk to the developers. I appreciate that it's frustrating when it doesn't seem like anyone is paying attention to your bug report, but I assure you that there are several people reading their bug-mail from Launchpad every day; so it is definitely on the radar. Rest assured. It probably just means that no one had any immediate idea for a solution or any constructive comments to make.

[Ayatana-dev] Final upload week
Hey, So, it's that time of the cycle where we only have one more upload left :). This Thursday will be the final upload for Unity, so all branches should be merge-proposed by latest Thursday morning UTC. After the release, we'll have the opportunity to fix critical bugs via distropatches (if the release team think that they are unlikely to cause side-effects), and other critical/high bugs through SRU process, with the aim that we have a 4.22.0 release of Unity waiting on the first day for upgrade. Branches-wise, I'll make a lp:unity/4.0 stable branch which we'll backport fixes into from trunk (and where distro can cherry-pick from). This will eventually become 4.22.0. lp:unity will be bumped to 5.0.0 so we can start development for P. We'll also setup a PPA so people can test the bleeding-edge code on their Oneiric systems.

Re: [Ayatana-dev] Unified inputmethod/keyboarlayout

If I add korean in keyboard layout I can only type in english using that layout. To get Korean I need to go into language and support and enable ibus and then add korean to ibus. now I am suddenly doing two things I can switch between input method if I want to use korean or chinese etc and then switch keyboard layout when I want to use english/swedish. Is there some way this could be unified to make it less confusing and easier to switch between langauges? (possibly use ibus for everything?) ... This is the basic idea behind the unified keyboard menu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeyboardSettings#menu Unfortunately I have not had time yet to complete a draft of that specification. as extra information I could add that windows also has similar problem. For korean they have a separate inputmethod that in itself has english and korean so when switching to korean layout I first need to do a 3rd level switch to get it to be korean characters instead of latin. With all operating systems I have used I would say OSX and Opensolaris are the easiest ones for using multiple keyboard languages. http://blogs.oracle.com/sunwg11nprg/entry/switching_keyboard_layout_in_solaris ... I've added that link to the wiki page.
