Sorry if I sound arrogant, but I don't quite approve disregarding this bug report, explaining that 'it's not a bug, it's a feature.' Regardless of whether it was a deliberate decision or an accident that alltray works in such a way now, it doesn't change the fact the users find it confusing and counter-intuitive.
Morevoer, the workaround you suggested, Michael, is not what me and probably many other users would expect. Let me explain: when I show (unhide) a docked application, I'd expect it to stay in the workspace I did the showing, so to say. Whereas with the --sticky option it will appear on any other workspace I'd move on to, instead of staying in the one it was shown/unhidden. pidgin, which was mentioned in this discussion, does stay in the workspace where it was originally shown - just like many other applications, which in turn is the probable reason why the users expect alltray to work likewise. I really apologise if you find my tone annoying, it was not my intention. I have a deep sense of gratitude for all the work you've been working. However, I believed I should say that because I am aware that it's very easy to lose the application user's perspective and consider your software almost entirely from the point of view of its creator. -- Show/hide shows the program on the workspace that was active when docked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272089 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
