** Description changed: This happens at random times. - Open several winidows of an application: for example, several terminal windows, or several browser windows. - In the launcher, N little white arrows appear on the left of the program's launcher icon, where N is the number of open windows. This is correct. - Click on those little arrows Expected: the screen greys out and previews of the N open windows of the program are shown, one nect to the other, all separate even if the real windows are overlapped Observed: randomly, sometimes works as expected; sometimes it only shows - N-1 windows, and one of them is not shown nor accessible in any way. I + M<N windows, and the others are not shown nor accessible in any way. I haven't found ANY way to access that window, except closing all the other windows of the same application. Then, when only one is left (the "ghost" one), then it will become visible. Please don't misassign the importance of this bug. This is huge. - - I have only started observing it since the upgrade to 12.10, but I'm not completely sure this is a regression. In 12.04, I used Avant Window Navigator, because of the unusability of Unity without an additional decent dock-like bar such as AWN. The upgrade to 12.10 uninstalled AWN without an apparent reason, so I've been using Unity without it for a while. So the bug may have already been there. before. + I have only started observing it since the upgrade to 12.10, but I'm not + completely sure this is a regression.
