Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-application
When the apps used notification area applets they were quite consistent: left
click to show app window, right click to options. Today there is no "show"
action but only options (looks different from the rest of the apps too). So, in
order to show application window user need to find a point in a menu then
activate it. But, unfortunately, these "menu points" are in different positions
for different apps, this breaks usability.
BTW, "show window" always was the most used action for most apps. Was there any
research that proved current indicator approach is better usable than old one?
Personally, I'm very doubt about it, especially after new "keyboard indicator"
applet.
