apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected hirsute wayland-session
** Description changed: "Always on top" windows are meant to be on top of other non-transient windows (its peers), but they're also on top of other windows' transient GUI components like context menus and tooltips. It is not constructive to obscure menus and tooltips with always on top windows any more than it is helpful to obscure the actual mouse cursor with AOT windows. They are short lived. Users can't decide where to place them. They will disappear by themselves when the user is done with them. A hidden tooltip or context menu helps no one. ubuntu 21.04 gnome wayland + --- + ProblemType: Bug + ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu65.1 + Architecture: amd64 + CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown + CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME + DisplayManager: gdm3 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-10-30 (274 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.10 "Groovy Gorilla" - Release amd64 (20201022) + NonfreeKernelModules: wl + Package: gnome-shell 3.38.4-1ubuntu3~21.04.1 + PackageArchitecture: amd64 + ProcEnviron: + TERM=xterm-256color + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-25.27-generic 5.11.22 + RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.38.4-1ubuntu2 + Tags: wayland-session hirsute + Uname: Linux 5.11.0-25-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to hirsute on 2021-04-23 (99 days ago) + UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo + _MarkForUpload: True ** Attachment added: "Dependencies.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938596/+attachment/5515002/+files/Dependencies.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938596 Title: Always on top windows obscure context menus and tooltips To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1938596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
