Jamie Strandboge; well spotted and thanks for reporting, this is a
critical bug.
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: unity
+ Spread not triggered correctly when a application has a mix of minimized
+ and restored windows and another application is in focus.
- 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:
+ To reproduce:
+ 1. launch 4 terminals with 'ctrl+alt+t'
+ 2. minimize one of the terminal windows
+ 3. open firefox such that it is in the foreground and has focus
+ 4. Left click on the terminal icon in the Launcher
- 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)
+ Current incorrect behaviour:
+ 5. The minimized terminal window(s) are restored
- 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.
+ Desired correct behaviour:
+ 5. The last active non-minimised terminal window ( *not* the window minimised
in step 2 above) is brought back into focus.
- Expected results: I am presented with a way to choose to bring into
- focus any of the four terminals.
+ Subsequently if...
+ 6. The user clicks on the terminal icon in the Launcher a second time
+ 7. A spread of all the terminal windows (both maximised and restored) is
displayed.
- 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.
+ (the original bug description mentioned two issues, I have narrowed this bug
to only focus on issue #2, if issue #1 is still relevant please report as a
separate bug)
