Per spec, Mir will require that every window have a minimum amount of width+height on-screen. Currently there's no allowance for apps to keep a window *entirely* on-screen, and nor is there any larger minimum width+height when relaunching an app.
But even if there was, that wouldn't solve this problem at all. While a call is in progress, another window might open in front of it; you might minimize it; or you might move it to another workspace, and then switch back to the previous workspace. So there are several ways that the call window could be invisible while the call is in progress. You could reduce this by setting the call window as a floating regular window, so that it floats on top of most other windows. (But that would be impractical if the app ever allowed screen sharing.) Or you could just rely on the Launcher, switcher, or call banner to return to the app. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493427 Title: [dialer app] + [window management] movement on screen in window mode Status in canonical-pocket-desktop: New Status in Ubuntu UX: Triaged Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: somewhat related to bug 1488852 so the dialer app is currently treated like any other window in terms of movement, you can move the dialer app to the point where the dialer application window is not seen "hanging of the screen" so only the title bar of the application is visible. Also, if the device reboots, this will be the remembered location of the window. Concern was that the user might move offscreen and struggle to find it quickly for "ending call" or entering numbers at a prompt or changing from loudspeaker to earpiece or wanting to hit mute. It was discussed whether or not the dialer application should become a "special" application/surface to disallow having any portion of the window being moved offscreen ? Or is this completely ok - e.g. the user wanted to do it and should be allowed to. Or should the green banner of the dialer app in the shell be used to bring the dialer app back on screen ?
