This is IMO one of the biggest problems of Unity! It's a Design and Usability Bug. It should be solved ASAP! It makes the workflow stuck. In Windows, this is a great advantage, you kann close every window, that is seen on the screen, because every window has its own control.
A simple alpha solution could be as follows... Imagine a maximized window without focus. and a non-maximized window, which has the focus. Hovering over the top bar will give you this 2 things: 1. The menus of the focussed, non-maximized window (this is also how unity is implemented at the moment) 2. The window controls for the maximized window (this is new) On the first thought, this might be confusing, but on the second it's not bad i think. For sure it's a better solution, than it is right now... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741603 Title: Window buttons disappear on maximized windows by changing focus to another maximised window on multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/741603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
