** Summary changed: - The exposed open windows are displayed in the correct order + The exposed open windows are not displayed in the geometric order
** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + When multiple non-maximised windows of the same program are open and one clicks on the icon of the program in the launcher, they are all shown - one next to each other but in the wrong order: windows that are in the - top-left corner can be shown in the right bottom position or on the top - bottom corner. + one next to each other but in an unexpected, difficult-to-predict order: + windows that are in the top-left corner of the workspace can be shown in + the exposé in the right bottom position or on the left bottom corner. This makes very hard to switch between similarly looking windows like terminals. - How to reproduce: + [ Test Case ] + * launch four or so terminal windows; * write something different on each of them to be able to tell them apart; * move each window to a different corner, possibly using the auto-resizing feature of Unity; * click on the terminal icon in the launcher; * many terminal windows are displayed; * choose the thumbnail in the right-top corner; * very likely a window that was in another corner has been selected; * try again various time and realize how confusing this all is. - The thing that is more strange is that you have to move the mouse - pointer to a certain point (let's say "right-top"), then you see the - window has appeared far away (let's say "bottom-left") so you have to - move your mouse again. + [ Potential Regressions ] + + An invalid ordering calculation might still position windows in the + exposé in unexpected ways. This is not a serious regression and has not + been observed under production situations. + + [ Additional Info ] + + The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU was cherry-picked from upstream Unity as + released in Ubuntu 14.10 where it demonstrated stability under daily + use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349281 Title: The exposed open windows are not displayed in the geometric order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1349281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
