This bug becomes annoying when you have many similar looking windows open. For example, see screenshot. Can you tell me which PDF is the datasheet for ATmega328P? I doubt you can without zooming in to the screenshot to an excessive level. In real life you would have to just check each open PDF one at a time.
So you start with the top left and work through them. But each time you check one, they shuffle randomly. Oh, my mistake. None of them are the datasheet for ATmega328P. It's not open. You just spent 5 minutes looking for something that isn't even there. Or is it? There's no way to know if it's not there, or if Unity just keeps moving it to a position you already checked. So in summary, this behaviour is extremely irritating and a massive waste of my time. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot at 2012-01-14 14:37:13.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/916542/+attachment/2674644/+files/Screenshot%20at%202012-01-14%2014%3A37%3A13.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916542 Title: Unity spread "randomly" shuffles overlapping windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/916542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
