Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
If I have multiple windows open for a particular application, eg
multiple gnome-terminal windows, and I minimize some, but not all of
them, either:
1. I cannot access the minimized windows via the launcher until I minimize all
windows for this application (this happens when a matching application has
focus)
2. upon clicking the launcher the minimized application is unconditionally
brought to the foreground rather than having the opportunity to select from one
of the several applications (this happens when a non-matching application has
focus)
Reproducer for #1:
1. launch 4 terminals with 'ctrl+alt+t'
2. minimize one
3. clicking on the unity launcher only shows the 3 unminimized terminals for
selection. To get back to the minimized one, I must minimize the remaining
three terminals, then click the launcher icon at which point all four are
unminimized and brought forward.
Expected results: I am presented with a way to choose to bring into
focus any of the four terminals.
Reproducer for #2:
1. launch 4 terminals with 'ctrl+alt+t'
2. minimize one
3. open firefox such that it is in the foreground and has focus
4. clicking on the unity launcher brings the minimized terminal to the
foreground with focus
Expected results: I am presented with a way to choose to bring into
focus any of the four terminals
One way to fix this is in both cases show all of the windows (in the
manner Unity uses in #1), with the minimized windows visually different,
perhaps slightly grayed out via a semi-transparent image overlay (or
something), and let the user pick which to bring into focus. This would
provide consistency as well as access to minimized applications.
This may be related to bug #677577, but perhaps not.
