Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu Unity, you could hover over a launcher-icon and scroll through
all of the windows open for that application. Scrolling wouldn't
showcase thumbnails; instead it would actually focus each different
window as you would scroll.
In Ubuntu 18.04, the GNOME taskbar does indeed offer a nice looking
thumbnail list of windows when you click on the launcher of an
application that has multiple windows.
However, I'm requesting that the same hover-scroll feature offered by
the Unity Desktop be added too. This request would have no barring on
the existing behavior, because currently hover-scroll does nothing. This
methodology requires "zero-clicks and less mouse travel" to cycle
through all the open windows of a particular application.
Therefore, I'm ok with the fact that clicking the launcher does what it
currently does.
This hover-scroll feature request can be added without effecting the
existing click event behavior.
No one who doesn't like the feature wouldn't have to endure it, and
people who expect it will love it. Win:Win
