** Changed in: unity Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low
** Description changed: 1. Open up several apps (for instance, a web browser, a game, a file manager and a terminal). Don't have the apps maximized. 2. Press Alt+Tab. Hold down the Alt key and click the tab selector so that the game is active. 3. While continuing to hold down Alt, use your mouse to click the terminal tile Expected behavior: Unity should switch to the terminal since the mouse click overrides where the tab happened to end up. Alternate example: 3. While continuing to hold down Alt, change your mind and click to the actual file manager in the background. Expected behavior: Unity should switch to the file manager since the mouse click overrides the Alt+Tab behavior. Other notes: Gnome Shell works the way I expect; it would be nice for Unity to do the Right Thing also. + =====User testing result===== + In user testing we found that several users tried to use the pointer to select applications/windows when alt-tab was open. + + The requested change is to enable the use of the pointer and left click + to select a specific app/window. Left clicking on a app/window should + close the alt-tab and bring the selected item into focus. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: unity 4.8.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-8.10-generic 3.0.1 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-8-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,imgpng,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,resize,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,session,unityshell] Date: Fri Aug 12 00:24:55 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-06-17 (55 days ago) ** Changed in: unity Assignee: (unassigned) => Jason Smith (jassmith) ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Jason Smith (jassmith) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824965 Title: [alt-tab] switcher should switch to an app tile that is clicked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/824965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
