Public bug reported: This has been reported upstream, and fixed/reverted:
> Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2017-10-07 17:58:32 UTC > A recent commit added this feature: > > window: Raise and lower tile match in tandem > > When a pair of tiled windows are grouped together, they > are treated as parts of a whole and interacting with one > affects the other. > > Following the idea that sibling tiled windows are treated > as part of the same group, they should also be raised and > lowered together. > I'd like to ask for this to be optional, as in practice it ends up more > annoying than useful. (For example, the way it selects a match is prone > to accidentally grouping unrelated windows just because they're next to > each other in the z-order...) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788644 The revert commit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/415584344a5d4b5 This is not currently in 18.04, I think it's important to include - can I make a wishlist request? :D ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753893 Title: tandem raise/lower for half-screen snapped windows breaks normal workflows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1753893/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
