[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.
@Bruno, Unfortunately an update of compiz has replaced your ppa with Doug's patch. I don't want to bother you but it would be great if you update your ppa. Or better yet if you post a step by step guide how to compile compiz with Doug's patch.

Actually, my fix that got merged (and I think reverted quickly after) removed the hack and introduced correct behavior, with the possibility of switching between the two behaviors. I wonder why it's not actually present in lp:compiz right now. We shouldn't be bothering with introducing different behavior at the beginning of a cycle, right?

@Doug: what's the downside to applying the 0.9.7 commit in precise also adjusting scale.xml.in to get desired results. changing default action will only apply for new user since the actions are written in the user's config on first start ... e.g your xml.in change will not apply to existing users and their super-W will start doing the wrong thing @Matthias: I know it's only one issue per bug report. But the underlying problem is a single commit and many bugs are connected to fixing this bug correctly (which has been done for 12.10). This bug produces issues for people who don't even use scale all. Most corporte users don't use scale all but they do see the flying windows. Right, and I don't see an issue fixing the flying windows bug in a SRU, it seems like we could fix that while keeping the buggy action mapping to not change the super-W behaviour. It's likely that this bug would already have been fixed if there was a ticket tracking the flying issue rather than having it discussed in the middle for the 170 comments on the scale behaviour bug... The way I see it this bug is unfixable with the only acceptable solution apparently being the introduction of a second hack that will (I think) introduce even more problems for the next dist-upgrade. we need to have a look on how the bug got fixed in 12.10 and if there is a side effect of making super-W do the wrong thing for upgrades or if that got dealt with in some way (note that this version migrated to gsettings so it gave an opportunity to migrate settings, we can't backport that though) one other way would be to add some migration code to compiz itself, e.g have a one time migration, conditional to a flag that will be written somewhere, which could do something like if scale for all workspace = super-W; then reset it and reset the scale for one workspace so the new default are picked for users who didn't change the action. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.
@desgua; that's because it is the current implementation, and people generally don't comment if they are happy with the status quo. We had *a lot* of requests from the community to make the change described in bug #689733, so this debate is really is 6 of one, half a dozen of another. If we were to change the behaviour around to what it was before bug #689733 was implemented I guarantee we will have an equal number of people complaining that I use workspaces to segment tasks/areas of life/contexts, for example I have one workspace for personal stuff I use in my lunch break, another workspace I use for work, and another workspace dedicated to the report I am working on. I use workspaces so that I can focus on the task at hand, please don't always display windows from other workspaces that I am not currently using. The issue is that there are several valid different ways of using workspaces, and we don't want to make a change that will inconvenience all the users who requested that we make the change described in bug #689733 in the first place. This is why this bug requests that this behaviour is made configurable in System Settings: -- - In the short term what we can do is expose this option in 'System Settings / Keyboard / Shortcuts'. We can add two new actions to this panel: 'Spread all windows on the current workspace' (default setting: Super+W) and 'Spread all windows on all workspaces' (default setting: Disabled) and then it will be easy for users to choose the behaviour that suites them best. -- Can you see any alternative means of making all classes of workspace users happy without introducing this configuration option? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

@johnlea: I proposed a solution in #122 and #136. If I understand correctly bug #689733 was just an incorrectly set shortcut (super+w was set to scale all viewports instead of scale current viewport). The solution (again, if I understand correctly) was to hack scale all viewports to display only the windows on the current viewport (which is an ugly hack and introduced a ton of other bugs). Introducing a new option to compiz and keeping scale all viewports as it is would cause problems with with the upgrade path to 14.04, wouldn't it? Having to change a keycombo is such a minor annoyance compared to having this bug (and all that come with it, flying windows, etc.).

@seb128: the problem goes much deeper than the show all windows thing. As far as I can see the offending commit is just reverted in 12.10 and the shortcuts are set correctly. This fixes everything (tm). *Only* offering an option to show all windows will still leave all the other bugs that would be fixed by reverting the offending commit (flying windows, ...). Just as another incentive to really fix this instead of adding another hack to the first one that causes all the problems.

@mniess: This fixes everything (tm). that would change the behaviour of super-W for users upgrading though no? will still leave all the other bugs that would be fixed by reverting the offending commit (flying windows, ...) that's a different issue from the one this bug is about, this bug is Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.. There is no discussion that we should fix other bugs if they exist but: - the number of comments complaining that things are broken make it hard to find where the informations are in the bug - one bug report should describe one issue, that bug is about the picker acting on one workspace when it's supposed to include others ones. if you have other issues I would be happy to find resources in the desktop team to look at them and to help to get them resolved but please open a new bug with a short and explanatory description (better if users don't come to turn that one is a flood of comments as well so we can keep the discussion focussed on resolving that issue) I don't know what feedback you get from corporate users (employees won't come here to report bugs) but I know several small businesses (50-150 employees) that suffer from this bug. We didn't get customers complains about that issue and nobody at Canonical has been complaining about it either. Most people running unity just use the unity-launcher and click on the icons and get what they want, or they use the documented super-W which acts as documented. In all the years I've been using GNOME/compiz or unity I never felt the need to use an overview of all the wins open over all desktops ... that would be a lot of things displayed and my workspaces are often organized by activity so the overview makes more sense to me when it's restricted to the workspace/context I'm working with. That's just to say that different people have different workflow and what might seem an end of the world issue is a no issue for others... ( note that I mention unity there because it's the desktop we ship and provide support for ...

The thing you seem to forget, Sebastien, is that the core issue is this: A hack was introduced that not only changed the default behavior for all users, but -- more importantly -- also made it impossible to switch back to the desired behavior. In other words, mucking around with people's configs has already been done. How about we own up to the mistake and fix it? The only reasonable way is to revert the ugly hack, and repair the functionality of 'show windows from all workspaces'. Users will have to update their key bindings if they don't like that it's working again. It won't take them more than a minute.

@seb128: argh. I meant this fixeD everything (for 12.10 that is). I know it's only one issue per bug report. But the underlying problem is a single commit and many bugs are connected to fixing this bug correctly (which has been done for 12.10). This bug produces issues for people who don't even use scale all. Most corporte users don't use scale all but they do see the flying windows. @mc3man: the problem fixing this bug is that if you fix it the default behavior changes and you can't change the user settings on upgrade. The only way to do that is ask for user interaction through a notification (the way it happens when you install Dropbox). That would work but bothering the user with notifications is unwanted, so it won't happen. The way I see it this bug is unfixable with the only acceptable solution apparently being the introduction of a second hack that will (I think) introduce even more problems for the next dist-upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

Without reading the details of this bug again or forcing an opinion, everyone please note: This bug is marked as fix released in Compiz 0.9.8.0.

Desired resolution: - As the change request conflicts with bug #689733 , the current default behaviour of the spread should not change. Also significant changes to Ubuntu's default behaviour should not be made in a SRU. Why this is in the current description makes no sense, that unfortunate bug targeted the left click on launcher icon by extension - 'window picker for for window *group*', nothing really to do with this.

I'm failing to see how is fixing this equvivalent to changing default behaviour. The problem is, as I understand, that in one moment Scale plugin's actions Initiate window picker for all windows and Initiate window picker (for current workspace) became the same - Initiate window picker (for current workspace). They both behave exactly the same way. Instead to bind the shortcut to later action, they CHANGED the former to behave exactly like the later. The result - an important functionality is thrown out because it was easier to make Initiate window picker for all windows behave exactly like Initiate window picker (for current workspace) , than to just bind the shortcut to Initiate window picker (for current workspace) and to leave Initiate window picker for all windows to be used if someone desires.

[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.
Putting back to Confirmed for 12.04, since the commit in question was eventually reverted and the problem is more complex in 12.04 than it would first seem. The bug itself would be fixable, as known, but not without changing the default behavior for all users which is not wanted. The desired 12.04 solution of having the default unchanged but adding two new shortcut keys to GNOME Control Center as described in the bug description would be otherwise acceptable, but it's tricky and there is no such work done. The problem as I understand it is that the current default key combo in 12.04 (but not in 12.10) is bound to the wrong action, so there would be a upgrade migration mechanism required and it still might have hard time getting accepted into a stable upgrade in fear of regressions. Meanwhile, as this is now not included even in the next precise SRU, I created a PPA including the next proposed compiz SRU added with this fix - ppa:timo-jyrinki/compiz-12.04-fix-933776 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.
As it currently stands, I'd like to remind you of what I wrote in #122. Compiz in 12.04 is broken. I get calls on an almost daily basis because this bug breaks window management. If all that holds us back from reverting that one commit are changed shortcuts then lets make an exception. Sebastien wrote in #123 that you hate those dpkg notifications that prompt the user to do some actions. But looking at the 3 options we have, I know which one I'd pick: 1. live with a broken compiz 2. hack compiz to add an extra show all windows option, additionally to the existing one, that actually does show all windows so that we don't have to change shortcuts (this would be an awefully ugly hack IMO) 3. display a notification on upgrade Due to an upgrade some of your shortcuts for window management need to be restored. Please click on 'Restore shortcuts' to do that now. (which runs a script to recursively unset the relevant keys, or - if you want to get fancy - checks the currently defined shortcuts and sets them at the appropriate places). I really really think we should go with option 3. Do we really want two initiate window picker on all viewports options? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

[ Didier Roche ]
* debian/patches/ubuntu-config.patch:
- refresh with latest trunk
* debian/*docs:
- remove the TODO copy now removed upstream
* debian/compiz-plugins.install:
- install stackswitch, trip plugins
* debian/rules, debian/control:
- remove the compiz gnome-control-center key sedding through metacity.
Compiz now directly ships them.
- we do not need metacity-common anymore as a build-dep then
* debian/compiz-gnome.migrations, debian/control:
- build-dep on dh-migrations and ship gconf - gsettings migration file

* Update apport hook for python3 ; thanks to Edward Donovan (LP: #1013171)
[ Timo Jyrinki ]
* New upstream snapshot.
- Fix Compiz crash in movementWindowOnScreen (LP: #1015151)
- Start window decorator when decor plugin starts (LP: #1014461)
- Fixed: Crash in compiz::wall::movementWindowOnScreen (LP: #1015151)
- Don't waste memory leaving /bin/sh running (LP: #1015422)
- Add reliable detection of the compiz bin directory (LP: #1015898)
- Check if the window would actually paint before painting the shadow,
since it is possible that another plugin could be inhibiting paint of
the dock window. (LP: #1012956)
- Don't insert the window into the server list above the window it was
created above. (LP: #1008020) (LP: #886605)
- makes compiz enhanced zoom and show mouse plugins considerably
smoother to use (LP: #930783)
- Don't set decoration contexts on undecorated windows, since that
might be read later and code will assume the window is decorated when
it isn't. (LP: #1015593)
- Fix potentially unterminated string leading to an uninitialized memory
read (LP: #1018302)
- Lift the 31/32 character restriction on key names that was causing so
many warnings. It's now 1024 characters according to glib. (LP: #1018730)
- Don't print the result of BUILD_DEB. It prevents ccsm et al from
installing. (LP: #1018916)
- Use the XDamage extension more efficiently (the way it was designed to be
used). This dramatically reduces CPU usage, reduces wakeups, and
increases frame rates. It also solves at least one observed performance
bug (LP: #1007299) and probably several more.
- Do the initial work to get libcompizconfig under test. (LP: #990690)
- Add support for initiating window picker in other than nomal mode. For
now added only the additional 'All windows' picker (LP: #933776)
(LP: #955035)
- Fixes (LP: #1018602) : An invalid read when using g_variant_iter_loop.
- Don't allow unbinds of textures kept around for animations in any case,
not just resizing. (LP: #1016366)
- Wait for the server to finish processing requests before doing a bind
(LP: #1016367)
- Using the next/previous bindings the wall plugin didn't calculate
correctly the next workspace when it reaches the begin or the end of a
row of workspaces, so it didn't jump to the next line. (LP: #904205).
- Added the plug-in Stack Window Switcher converted from git to bzr
(including full history) to Compiz. (LP: #1012205)
- Added the unsupported, but fully working plug-in workspacenames
- Added the plug-in Trip (LP: #1012213)
- Add extra checks to avoid passing an invalid xid to XGetWindowProperty
which would result in fatal error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter).
(LP: #1019337)
- Fix crash LP: #1019337 properly this time.
- Added .convert files (for gsettings-data-convert) and a migration python
script (best for usage with session-migrations) for migrating some compiz
settings from gconf to gsettings
- Fix CMake error when USER environment variable is not set (LP: #1023772)
- Avoid severe artifacts and flickering when using LLVMpipe (LP: #1021104)
- Fix build failure due to invalid sed expression (LP: #1023738)
- Generate the CTestFile.cmake using cmake itself (LP: #1024214)
- Avoid random build failures _intltool_update-NOTFOUND: not found
by verifying intltool-update exists. If not, then fail cmake more
cleanly with a nice error message telling the user how to install
it. (LP: #1023742)
- Fixed CompTimerTestCallback.TimerOrder failure on slow
systems (like valgrind) (LP: #1021139)
- Fix incorrect shell expansion, leading to invalid sed syntax
(LP: #1029383)
- Install the cmake helper macros and check for them in
COMPIZ_CMAKE_MODULE_PATH (LP: #1024179)
- Fixed: schemas were getting installed to ${DESTDIR} twice
- Reduced combined filesizes of Compiz' .png resources from 2.2MB to

changing the ubuntu config is tricky though since we have no good solution to migrate existant configs, so changing the code would lead to behaviour changes for those existing profiles ... it might be easier to add a new function in compiz to do the same thing rather than change the existing one, it's a bit of an hack but it would allow users to opt in for the new one without breaking upgrades -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

Using the current behavior leads to windows flying all over the place, invisible windows, windows stuck outside of the viewport, etc. I can't see how anyone can use this in its' current state. Things were changed for this new behavior, braking the previous behavior for everyone who used it (it is impossible to show all the windows from all the desktops). I can't understand how hacking this instead of fixing the expected behavior is better. I remember compiz 0.8 was great to use, fast, I don't remember all this windows drawing artifacts and lag. Maybe I have a bad memory, and the rewrite was for the better. I have been always against the I'm moving to distro X naysayers, but I'm reaching my limit, and am tired of being unable to work because of critical regressions that change the behavior of the desktop all the time, and linger to be fixed, which is even worse when there are public patches that lots of people have been using for ages without known issues. I fear for the transition to Wayland... :-( I know, I know, this isn't a forum, and this doesn't help, and whatever, but I've been happily using Ubuntu for so long, that coming to this is making me very frustrated and sad, and I believe the more than 200 people reporting having this bug for so long are too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows.

Just a small comment to possibly clear up a previous one There is a possibility that the very first time scale all windows from all ws's is used that instead of going to the scale, windows will instead try to leave or come into the screen, the windows flying all over.. This doesn't happen all the time only occurs the *first time used*, then doesn't return, at least as seen here over the course of maybe 50 installs scale fixed since last mid-winter.

Regarding a mechanism to properly migrate users-settings without hacking new stuff into compiz: There are several packages that trigger a notification that asks the user to do stuff. ecryptfs asks the users to write down their passphrases, dropbox asks them to restart nautilus. What about adding that kind of notification just to this particular update telling the user that some compiz settings have to be reset to their default value. There could be a button that runs a script which does a recursive-unset on the relevant keys.

[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.
I have just updated from the PPA. Now scale works again as expected. I hope Ubuntu devselopers won't give us another broken update in a while...
