There may be a misunderstanding in what the issue is. The behaviour of a workspace when there are multiple applications running in a workspace is different when there is only one application running in a workspace.
Best way to see the issue is: 1. go to one of the workspaces 2. Launch multiple applications (Like Terminal and System Monitor) 3. Make sure the Terminal window stays open and the gui for Sys Monitor is running 4. Go to another workspace and open Firefox If you now click on the workspaces icon in the launcher where all workspaces are on the screen, selecting the workspace with one app gui running behaves differently than when selecting a workspace with multiple application gui running. The conclusion derived from Florian statement is that the behaviour should be the same regardless of the number of gui apps running. Is this correct? If this is the case then there is a behavioral consistency issue ** Changed in: unity-2d (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: unity-2d Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937313 Title: Workspaces fails to come into focus when more than one app is running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/937313/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
