--- Comment #7 from Noah Davis <noaha...@gmail.com> --- What I'm concerned about with issue 1 isn't that switching while spectacle open needs to be a viable part of someone's workflow. I'm concerned about bugs causing the UI to stop working in some way. Imagine a user who doesn't know about pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to TTY2 and using the command line to run `killall spectacle`. If they couldn't switch windows, they'd probably think they have to restart their computer. That could cause them to lose significant amounts of time or even data, depending on what they were doing. You could argue that a developer should never allow bugs to make it to the user, but I am not a perfect developer and Spectacle depends on other projects for core functionality. Those other projects could and often do have bugs that affect Spectacle users. What I was getting at with the watch dog issue is that I'm concerned that the GUI could get into a situation where the thread might not technically be frozen in a way that the watchdog could detect, only visually and interactively non-functional, like a blank window would be except the window might not be visually blank. > When I open up thunderbird and hit "shift + print screen", it always pops up > above Spectacle.

It could just be a timing issue due to differences in how the app works on wayland. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
