Your description: yes. The change: no. I've tried to get used to it now for weeks. I find it utterly confusing the way it now is and it actually disturbs my working whenever I switch activities. Can we get a way to disable this? Doesn't even need a GUI in the first step. My usage is like this: I have a set of virtual desktops, every has a special meaning (e.g. 5 is konsole). It often happens that I want to just compare 2 similar things, so I e.g. got to desktop 5, look at the terminal, switch activity and am not where I like to be. In general I do not know on which desktop I have been in the activity 5 minutes before. What do I care? I don't even remember. I know where I want to go now. Going back to a place I don't remember has no meaning in that kind of workflow. I understand it may have for other people using different workflows, but for me it actually confuses me when I try to work. Thinking a bit more I just do "I want a terminal" so I go to desktop 5. If it's not the right one I switch to the other activity (I usually only have 2) and end up "somewhere" which may only accidentially be the right place, but usually isn't. Greetings, Eike
