As this bug most likely won't ever get fixed (since Unity7 development was scrapped), it might be useful to document the known workarounds here, starting with:
1: Start any window manager with working shade support, for example as follows: $ nohup openbox --replace >/dev/null & # Warning: If you are not familiar with openbox and alike, their default settings are rather minimalistic; no taskbars or app menus included after the replace above (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox for more details). 2: Disable any references to shading if you want/need to use Unity $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings | grep -i shade $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences | grep -i shade $ # ... followed by some form of gsettings set or reset to the ones listed (not tested) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313446 Title: window disappears on toggle shade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1313446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
