[Touch-packages] [Bug 1712866] Re: icons from qt applications disappear after screen lock/sleep
yes, this still happens in Bionic. does not happen if i login with Wayland session (but wayland is buggy in different ways, so not really a solution). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712866 Title: icons from qt applications disappear after screen lock/sleep Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Indicators of some Qt apps are not showing after unlocking the screen or shell restart. [Test case] - Login to 17.10 - launch dropbox (if not already launched) - Launch telegram (snap version or without libappindicator support) - Observe icons in taskbar - Lock screen with Super+L - Unlock screen - Icons should still be there [Possible regressions] Icons that should be hidden could be visible instead The fix doesn't apply to snapped applications In the Ubuntu Xorg session, with the Ubuntu Appindicator extension enabled, the tray icons for QT apps (in my case, both owncloud-client from the Ubuntu repos and enpass, from their own repo) show up after first logging in. But once the screen has been left idle long enough to be put to sleep, and is then woken up (I don't actually have screen *lock* enabled, but it still goes comes back to the clock screen and a further gesture is needed to scroll that up to get the desktop), then the icons for those QT apps are gone. Non-QT apps (eg: in my case hexchat, from the ubuntu repos) remain. For a while and due to inattention it seemed more random than that, but I'm fairly sure now it's just the display sleep/wake thing that kills it. The applications are still running in the background (so for instance enpass is still available via the browser extension), and can be seen in the process list. It's just the icons that have disappeared. If I then kill those apps (from the commandline with 'kill [pid]' because there's no other interface to do it from) and relaunch them, they reappear back in the appindicator area.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1296093] Re: Allow ungrouping window or application switchers
yes, please. however, in the mean time, there is a workaround - use static application switcher instead of unity switcher. 0) install compizconfig-settings-manager 1) close all apps (you'll see later why) 2) run "ccsm". 3) enable static app switcher in the "window management" section, disabled by default. it will report conflicts of key bindings, enable anyway. note: you want "static application switcher", not the regular "application switcher". yes, there are two, the regular one works but icons look screwy, don't use it. "static application switcher" is the shit. 3a) WARNING: this will cause session to re-initialize, and once i had it get completely screwed up and had to re-login. but this is why you closed all apps in step (1), haven't you? so you'll be fine. press ctrl-alt-f2, log in from the text console, "sudo killall Xorg" and re-login. or just reboot. 4) you'll note that ubuntu unity switcher is still active, we're not done yet. run ccsm again, go to desktop -> ubuntu unity plugin -> switcher tab and disable all the shortcuts (click the pencil icon, untick enabled). 5) still in ccsm, go back to window management -> static app switcher, which should be enabled, click on it and set shortcuts for "Next window (all windows)" and "Previous window (all windows)". you want "all windows", not just next/previous, which are also there and work like ubuntu switcher. set then to alt-tab and shift-alt-tab or whatever you prefer. presto! easy-peasy. but really, this should be an option of the ubuntu switcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296093 Title: Allow ungrouping window or application switchers Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Dear Unity developers, please make it possible to ungroup same windows or applications on unity launcher. Rapid switching between same applications would be much less painful if there was such option. That’s far more important than asking if users want a “Show workspace” icon among the switcher options.
