In the time since I reported this bug I have come to suspect that it is a design flaw in the Unity interface as implemented in 14.04. The flaw is this: there are no enforced standards for what appears where in a window title bar, resulting in the inability to move the control boxes in the more rebellious windows. It appears that Canonical's solution to this is to disable the capability rather than tighten up the window title bar standards.
Another factor that dashes hope for fixing this issue is what appears to be an utter fascination by Canonical's leadership with unconventional ideas. That's great for innovation, but is rank poison for an end user production environment. Consider the chaos that would result if some automotive manufacturers violated conventional practice by transposing the gas and brake pedals just because it could be done and then refused to allow the driver to set up the more customary pedal arrangement. Are needless changes like this advancements, or are they just putting metric monkey wrenches into the toolbox of life? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310056 Title: unity-tweak-tool cant move window buttons to the right in 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-tweak-tool/+bug/1310056/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
