The incoming call screen is currently a screen in the Phone app. Accepting the call switches to the app. How, then, could the desired behavior be implemented? Unity would have to remember where in the stack the Phone app was previously (if it was even running at all). The Phone app would have to tell Unity that the call was over. Then Unity would have to move it back to its previous position in the app stack. That's a lot of special-casing, and it's hard to see how any other VoIP app could do the same. (And on a PC where the app wasn't full-screen, that shuffling would look weird.)
If the call window was a parentless dialog instead, whether full-screen or not, it could float on top of whatever app you happened to be using at the time (even if that happened to be the Phone app). Once the call finished, the dialog would go away, and you'd be back where you were without any app shuffling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dialer-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1419645 Title: [Dialer] dialer screen focussed after receiving a call Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Committed Status in dialer-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using rtm 228 on krillin - have your phone on the dash (nothing is running) or with an application in use (ie. the webbrowser) - receive a call - look at your phone after the call The dialer-app is open and focussed, it shouldn't, answering a phone shouldn't return the device in a state different from the one it was before talking. If you were using the webbrowser you probably want to keep doing that rather than dial a new number Opening against unity8 since that's an application management issue, not sure if that's the correct component though ------------UX comment----------- I agree, this is a bad user experience. As proposed in the bug description: After user hangs up an accepted call, the previously used app should be back in view.
