It does not correctly disengage. It loses focus, but it stays visible and on top of everything. This makes the underlying application that I've switched to be unusable. > second, i don't quite see the practical sense in having the dash open WHILE switching workspaces. those are two different functions alright. Uhh... what? If the Dash closed when it was open and I switched workspaces, that would be great. If it kept focus after I switched workspaces, that would be great too. I know they are two different functions. But, at the moment, you can switch desktops or hit Alt-Tab while the Dash is open, and the Dash ought to behave sensibly when that happens. > furthermore, such thing would probably only work with compositing enabled > [unity3D] if at all. and we already past feature freeze anyway. > it is my opinion this should be under WISHLIST and not as a bug. > I don't think you've understood the bug report. I am not proposing a new feature. I'm proposing not having a honking great big difficult-to-close *thing* covering my desktop and completely obscuring any keyboard input I might have, just because I accidentally hit Alt-Tab while the Dash is open. jml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842466 Title: Dash loses focus after switching windows or desktops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/842466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
