Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome
This bug report aims at Gnome's handling of windows in z-axis. It is which window is the frontmost, middle, and back. If you have a window (i.e. pop-up window), which has a parent window, the pop-up window should not be allowed to be in front of an other application's window. Example: If I manually start update manager with a check, and in the meanwhile opens my e-mail program, I'm disturbed by windows popping up telling how the check progresses. In the same manner, if you touch (type with keyboard or click with mouse) one application no other application is allowed to be in front of that application. Example: Start two applications and the second takes (code::block ide, brings first up a plash and then the application window) a lot of time to load. If you touch the first application, the second one is always behind the first one until you tell Gnome to bring it to the active one. Let this be per application, not as now per window. ** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome z-axis management of windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
