There are several really annoying side-effects of this bug. 1. When the mouse is over the Thunderbird main window (full screen), the Ubuntu key doesn't bring up the Ubuntu launcher. (this bug)
2. When Thunderbird's Reply/New button is clicked, the Reply/New window is created and displayed UNDER the Thunderbird window, making it difficult to reply, much less know if the window was created. (Leaving the user to wonder if he should press the Reply/New button again. 3. The ALT-tab key combo does not cycle through the windows when the mouse is over the Thunderbird window. This makes it really difficult to find the hidden Reply/New window when it's under the Thunderbird window. As a corollary, it's really difficult to find any other window because the window cycler doesn't get activated. 4. I have to move my mouse to the other display (when one is attached) to use the Ubuntu key or ALT-tab. To get to a hidden Reply/New window, I have to hit ALT-tab until the Thunderbird icon is selected, wait a few seconds for icons for all the Thunderbird windows are displayed, and select the Reply/New window. Sometimes (only sometimes) will the window pop to the front of the Thunderbird window. I usually have to do the ALT-tab-cycle-wait 3 or 4 times before the Reply/New window will actually be visible. ALT-tab works fine if the mouse is over a non- Thunderbird window (except VirtualBox), and the Reply/New window will pop to the front every time when selected. 5. If the Reply/New window is above the main Thunderbird window, and I use ctrl-ALT-arrow to move to another Ubuntu Workspace, then move back to the Workspace that has Thunderbird, the Reply/New window is re-hidden under the Thunderbird window. If the Reply/New window is on top of a different app, e.g., Firefox or a shell window, it remains there after switching Workspaces and switching back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097046 Title: Ubuntu key doesn't work in Thunderbird To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1097046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
