Public bug reported: I've been using Unity a few hours. I'm getting really frustrated.
Here's what I don't understand: The distinction between programs and instances is fundamental to using a desktop PC effectively, and yet unity makes an assumption that I'll only ever have one instance of an application open, or at best it looks like multiple-windows have been grudgingly bolted on to Unity. There are three very simple things that need to be done to fix this: * ungroup the windows * display the window titles in the taskbar * allow moving the taskbar to a long edge of the screen so that window titles are readable ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: unity 5.10.0-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,grid,regex,snap,mousepoll,move,animation,workarounds,gnomecompat,resize,compiztoolbox,wall,imgpng,place,session,vpswitch,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,expo,scale,ezoom,unityshell] Date: Thu Apr 26 22:58:03 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989272 Title: Launcher groups windows of the same application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/989272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
