[Bug 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
I can reproduce this bug with avidemux. I resolved it by disabled "Workarounds" in the place plugin.

Those are problems with those specific applications and aren't even related to this bug. The alacarte one is fixed in hardy, too. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Places child windows on the incorrect workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90562 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 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
I think this may have something to do with ATI XGL drivers, as I have this problem on my laptop, but not on my desktop. the main difference being that my laptop has the ATI xpress 200m while my desktop has a GeForce 400. Usually it isn't too much of a problem, just kind of annoying, like when adding entries to the main menu using alacarte, the window to add a new entry appears behind the main alacarte window. sometimes it renders new windows unusable, for instance forecast fox plugin in firefox, when you put the mouse over the weather, the tooltip with more info pops up, but then disappears, apparently having gone under the browser. It didn't have this problem in firefox 2, only in firefox 3, which seems to be better tied to the underlying graphics engine. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Places child windows on the incorrect workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90562 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 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

[Bug 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
Here is something I can reproduce, although windows are on the same workspace: 1. Open an image with The Gimp 2. Make sure the window with the image is large enough to cover most of the screen 3. Open the drop shadow dialog box (filters -> light and shadow -> drop shadow) 4. Click OK 5. Re-open the drop shadow dialog box The first time it appears on top of the parent window, then it is always opened behind that window. -- Places child windows on the incorrect workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90562 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 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
Sorry, I don't have a reproducible test case. The behavior of Compiz regarding this is kind of inconsistent, sometimes child windows appear on the same workspace, sometimes they don't and I don't know why. -- Places child windows on the incorrect workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90562 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 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
I can't confirm they appear behind the currently focused window. That would indeed be a problem.

[Bug 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
Nick, when the child window has no entry in the taskbar (e.g., a dialog box) and appears behind the currently focused window, there's no way to know it's there. The correct way is to make it appear on top of the parent window, as Metacity does, and thus on the same workspace. -- Places child windows on the incorrect workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90562 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 90562] Re: Places child windows on the incorrect workspace
I personally wouldn't call this a bug. How could a window get possibly lost on the *current* workspace? It may be different from Metacity's behaviour but it's questionable to say Compiz' is inferior. Maybe you should elaborate on why you think it is worse this way. -- Places child windows on the incorrect workspace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90562 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

This is very annoying.
