Actually the bug that bug 1606501 is a duplicate of is fixed. I haven't yet confirmed that 1606501 is really fixed too.
OK, I understand this bug is something you don't want fixed. And the description of this bug alone makes it a low priority issue, sure. However the implications of not fixing this bug are larger. That is every time an app starts the user may see a flicker from black to the real window contents. But I expect in due time someone will log a bug for that specific consequence and it can be discussed elsewhere. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- 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/1577641 Title: Unity8 creates a blank black window for windowless apps Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Mir: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Unity8 creates a blank black window for windowless apps.
