Public bug reported:
User story:
I switch virtual workspaces (using Ctrl-Alt-Right) to a workspace with
two terminal windows in it. I start typing into the window I want
because I think it is active already. Expected behaviour: the correct
window gets my input. Actual behaviour: the input goes into the wrong
window because I was wrong about which window I thought was active.
Commentary:
When I upgraded to a previous release (I forget which one exactly) the
distinction between active and inactive title bars dropped and I
couldn't tell at a glance if a window was active without specifically
comparing the title bars with other windows. But I noticed that only the
active window had the title bar buttons in orange. So I started looking
for that. But in Jammy, that's also now gone, and so there's no
immediately obvious cue for me to tell if a window is active just by
looking at it. It's basically just down to comparing greys. And I can't
differentiate the absolute level of grey just by looking at it. It has
become necessary for me to look at two different windows to compare
their relative grey levels in order to determine which one is active.
I think this is a usability regression for the default theme.
