[Bug 175401] Re: window list should raise window
Sebastian: Are you sure your environment matches my description? You need to have "Select window when mouse moves over them" enabled in the Window preferences. Because I've just checked with Hardy 6 and it still exposes this behavior (no desktop effects enabled). Steps to reproduce: 1) Make sure "Select window when mouse moves over them" is enabled in window preferences 2) Open Calculator (or any other app) 3) Open Character Map (or any other app) 4) Arrange the two windows that Calculator is partially hidden behind Character Map (see screenshot) 5) Hover the mouse over Calculator - it becomes the active window (as you can see in the screenshot) 6) Now hover the mouse over to the Calculator window list entry- you must take care not to hover over Character Map, so the focus is not changed 7) Click on the Calculator window list entry - Calculator is hidden which is clearly not my intension IMHO the easiest thing to do would be to introduce a new option that lets one set the preferences regarding this behavior. The current behavior is clearly a bug for me. But some might call it a feature. So why not make both camps happy? If you don't want to pollute the user interface - I can understand that great care must be taken here - why not expose the setting through the configuration editor? I would really appreciate if this issue could be addressed with a future release. Current behavior is really annoying. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "windowlist.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12496732/windowlist.png -- window list should raise window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175401] Re: window list should raise window
I am having the same problem with windows in the taskbar not raising to the top. This looks like a problem with the application Metacity - gnome windows manager. I am running metacity 2.20.0 on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080207 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.12 I found a simple way to reproduce the problems in IDLE the IDE for Python. IDLE can be installed from the Synaptic Package Manager, just search for IDLE the integrated development environment for python. Launch IDLE, then click FILE then click NEW WINDOW, this creates UNTITLED within the UNTITLED window click RUN then click PYTHON SHELL PYTHON SHELL comes to the top as the active window, as it should. Here is where it gets screwy Now click on UNTITLED in the taskbar, this brings UNTITLED to the top as the active window as it should then click RUN then click PYTHON SHELL!!! now for some reason the window PYTHON SHELL does NOT come to the top as the active window instead it sits blinking in the taskbar as if the UNTITLED window was made to be Always On Top. Now, click on PYTHON SHELL in the taskbar, it Minimizes the PYTHON SHELL window??? click on PYTHON SHELL in the taskbar again and it Maximizes the PYTHON SHELL window raising it up to the top active window. Now try this, make the PYTHON SHELL window the active top window and minimize it. Now within the UNTITLED window click on RUN then click on PYTHON SHELL, now it works??? the PYTHON SHELL window raises to the top active window For some reason if the PYTHON SHELL window is minimized it works and if it is not minimized it does not work. And yet when one first launches IDLE it works. Metacity has got problems. The new 2.21 version is out but I have never compiled so i'll wait for an Ubuntu update. Also, setup Java and go play some free poker at Party Poker Anytime in more than one window. It is absolutedly insane. One has to click on a window to activate it and then click on the window that is blinking to get it to goto active top ... completely NUTZ. When an appplication calls for a window to activate, it should raise to the top, no clicking involved. -- window list should raise window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175401] Re: window list should raise window
That's not likely something which changed between gutsy and hardy and it's working correctly without the desktop effects option, unconfirming since it works correctly on all the ubuntu installations I have, maybe somebody having the issue can investigate ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- window list should raise window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175401] Re: window list should raise window
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, normal desktop effects are enabled, but even when I disable desktop effects, the behavior regarding window list does NOT change. At least in the same session. I will apply some testing tomorrow, right now I don't want to restart the X server. Maybe time give hardy a try.

Thank you for your bug. That works correctly on my hardy installation. Do you use the desktop effects option? ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: New => Incomplete -- window list should raise window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
