** Description changed: - If I were to sit next to you at your computer, put my arm around your - shoulder and ask you: "Show me the Desktop" + [ Impact ] - What would you do? Load up a Firefox window? What if I asked you again - "Show me the Desktop" + The label on the show desktop / show windows icon in the Unity Switcher + does not change even when the function of the button has changed. This + can be just a little bit confusing. - Would you do something different than, say, show the desktop? + [ Test Case ] - Thusly, when one selects "Show Desktop" with ALT+TAB I propose either: + (1) Open several applications with windows. + (2) Using Alt-Tab, bring up the Switcher and keeping the Alt key depressed and using the Tab key, navigate to the leftmost icon, which should be labeled "Show Desktop". Release all keys. Only the desktop should be displayed. + (3) Again using Alt-Tab, navigate back to the leftmost icon. Its label should have changed to "Restore Windows" to indicate its changed function. - 1) Show the Desktop and only the desktop, no matter the state. + [ Regression Potential ] - Or: + About the worst that could happen is the incorrect label is applied to + the icon in the Switcher. - 2) Change the state from "Show Desktop" to "Show Open Windows." + [ Other Info ] - Thank you for your consideration. - - - -------------------------------------- - Desired solution: - - - First see the description of bug #966030 - - - When the user is in the 3rd state described in the description of the - aforementioned bug (e.g. they have just used the 'Show Desktop' function - to minimise all their windows, and have not opened or restored any new - windows after doing this), if the user goes to the 'Show Desktop' option - in Alt-Tab, the title should be changed to 'Restore Windows'. The - action that is performed when this option is selected should not change, - the only thing that should change is the label in this state. - - - If possible, it would also be good to change the tooltip of the - Launcher Show Desktop icon when in this state if possible, but if not no - worries. + The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU has been cherry-picked from the Ubuntu 14.04 + release where it has shown to be stable.
