@lukas-kde @saviq I've updated the bug description to clarify this change, but I've got a question about the original description - what exactly was meant by 'cascade'? If this is what I think it means e.g. display the windows in a diagonal stack then this is not the desired behavior. We should restore all windows to as close to their original sizes and positions when switching back to windowed mode.
When a user switches back to windowed mode on a different size/resolution display (as is very possible in the convergence case), then we should follow the logic described in the MIR spec for how the windows sizes and positions are modified as minimally as possible to fit onto the new screen size. See the section titled "When a display shrinks, rotates, or is removed" in spec https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L85DdfDd3lDbvchYbgQ45C_lJ1IeTMG4uc7Nuq_XdAE/edit#heading=h.lo6wjg7251og (private document). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513813 Title: unity8 windowed mode should cascade Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: In Progress Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: when launching transitioning to windowed mode or launching applications in windowed mode, each window by default is the same size and locates to the same default location. -------------------------- Desired resolution: - Window/Surface state should be remembered so that if a user switches from windowed mode to staged mode, when the user then switches back to windowed mode the windows should be restored to their previous windowed mode sizes and positions. - This also applies to staged mode e.g. if a surface was in the sidestage, when the user switches back to staged mode the surface should still be in the side stage.
