Public bug reported:
I manage the computers at a condominium association. I am often called
on to help condo owners with their computer troubles. I have introduced
many of these people to Ubuntu and they now use Ubuntu.
A very common complaint amongst the users is the inability to disable
the black-bar popups that appear over the Launcher (see screenshot). For
example, if the user is writing an email in thunderbird and the mouse
cursor drifts over to the Launcher, a black-bar popup appears covering
up what the user is trying to read/write. This is the source of endless
frustration for many users.
I, myself, have also found this black-bar popup to be unmanageable and
useless and hide the Launcher to avoid it bothering me. But many of the
users I help cannot manage a hidden launcher. So it continues to be a
problem for them.
The black-bar popups that appear over the Launcher should be capable of
being disabled, either in Settings or at least in dconf-editor.
Please address this with an update soon.
