Uploaded the fix into Xenial SRU queue. Sorry for the delay. ** Description changed:
- Using the gome-flashback session with metacity is totally messed up - since I updated from Ubuntu 14.04.3 to 16.04.1. + # Test Case + Described in comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1614050/comments/16 + + # Impact + Sometimes the window depth order is wrong, for example the desktop icons appear above all windows. Also sometimes windows disappear and the only way to bring them back to life is restarting Metacity. This can result in loss of work results for users who do not know how to deal with this bug. + + # Fix + The Xenial fix is composed of two upstream commits, in gnome-3-18 branch: + - https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?id=d5f9e42e30c67d07 + - https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?id=72488dc76ee24a3e + + # Regression Potential + The patch has been in Yakkety for almost a month, and nobody complained. + + ============================================================================= + Using the gome-flashback session with metacity is totally messed up since I updated from Ubuntu 14.04.3 to 16.04.1. All the effects mentioned here do not appear when using compiz, so I guess Metacity is broken. -Windows that should open in front (like Kupfer) appear behind the windows already open. -Before nemo is run, the Ubuntu default desktop background image appear, it can't be changed by settings. I just guess this is due wrong ordering of the true background and some window used by Gnome for showing the selected background. -If nemo is run to take over the desktop, the destkop icons appear in front of all windows. - - I guess all those effects originate from a similiar reason. None of these problems where appearant at Ubuntu 14.04. + I guess all those effects originate from a similiar reason. None of + these problems where appearant at Ubuntu 14.04. This is a total show stopper for using metacity on 16.04 as everyday applications like nemo and Kupfer can't be used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614050 Title: Window depth order messed up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1614050/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
