** Description changed: [ Impact ] - * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and justification - for backporting the fix to the stable release. + * Regression in the applications of layouts application in ubuntu + Budgie. This regresses a user facing capability that is available in + both 24.04 and all versions since. - * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an - explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. + * Applying any layout that should show or hide the new dock in 26.04 (crystal-dock) does not actually show or hide the dock correctly. On re-login, the + dock reappears when it should hide. The previously working layouts + capability used plank and the 26.04 version includes legacy code for this now removed dock. + * This SRU re-allows the extant layouts capability. It is particularly important for 24.04 users who were previously using plank and in 26.04 they are switched to crystal-dock. [ Test Plan ] - * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug + * Using Budgie-Welcome - Makeovers, apply either Redmond or Traditional + layouts. Logout and login. Observer that crystal dock appears above + the panel. It should be hidden. - * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected - package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package - fixes the problem. - - * if other testing is appropriate to perform before landing this - update, this should also be described here. + * From the proposed repo, install the package budgie-extras-daemon. logout and login. + * repeat the test plan - this time crystal dock is hidden correctly. [ Where problems could occur ] - * Think about what the upload changes in the software. Imagine the - change is wrong or breaks something else: how would this show up? + * The changes involve copying the system installed crystal-dock file + to their local folder. If a user has manually modified that file, + then those changes will also be carried across. The additional + fields added / removed from the autostart .desktop file may + interfere with the users intent. In this case, the end-user will need to + reapply their manual changes. - * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before - upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important - to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event - of a regression. - - * This must never be "None" or "Low", or entirely an argument as to why - your upload is low risk. - - * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, - and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. + * In the view of the Ubuntu Budgie team, we feel it is unlikely the vast majority of end-users will be modifying system files so the likelihood + of a user facing regression is unlikely - i.e. the benifit of the SRU greatly outweighs the potential regression. [ Other Info ] - * Anything else you think is useful to include - - * Make sure to explain any deviation from the norm, to save the SRU - reviewer from having to infer your reasoning, possibly incorrectly. - This should also help reduce review iterations, particularly when the - reason for the deviation is not obvious. - - * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams - and the Technical Board and address these questions in advance + * Note - this patch has already been uploaded to stonking and has been + tested successfully. ---- When applying a Budgie Welcome based theme (Redmond or Traditional Budgie) that has a Windows-style taskbar at the bottom, the Crystal Dock remains active and keeps popping up unexpectedly over the taskbar, in the center.
