Public bug reported:

The budgie-desktop package is the heart of Ubuntu Budgie - the desktop-
environment.

A number of issues have been raised since the 18.04 release. As part of
ongoing 18.04 & 18.10 support the Ubuntu Budgie Team proposes to wrap up
fixes as a SRU release for both 18.04 and 18.10. In this SRU we have
wrapped up reported issues that have been classified as LOW by the UB
dev team. In addition the scope of the change has been assessed to limit
the potential of regression. This is to ensure this SRU requests is
strictly limited in scope with the risk(s) being easily determinable.

Upstream Solus project is preparing for the budgie-desktop v10.5
release.  This is an opportune time to look across the work developed
since the August 2017 baseline that budgie-desktop 18.04 is primarily
based on.  Solus has been user testing budgie-desktop v10.5 since approx
Oct last year - Debian and Ubuntu 19.04 have now received this v10.5
preview since the beginning of this year.


[Impact]

The following budgie-desktop issues have been resolved for 18.04:

     1. Ensure show-desktop applet toggles correctly after showing a tooltip
     2. Allow cancel from polkit windows
     3. Make notifications consistent size; stop overlarge notification
      windows
     4. Ensure notifications remain visible if mouse is hovering over theme
     5. Support user based themes in legacy ~/.themes folder
     6. Enable autohiding when using multiple budgie panels
     7. deduplicate All category Menu

Most of these issues have been wrapped up in the 18.10 release. The
remaining issues from the above that apply to 18.10 are:

     6. Enable autohiding when using multiple budgie panels
     7. deduplicate All category Menu
In addition a 18.10 specific bug-fix has been applied as part of this SRU:
     8. Ensure Raven controls can be correctly hidden if configured on
      a relogon


[Test Case - 18.04]

1. Examine the Menu - All.  Look for menu options that appear to be duplicated.  Note these.
2. Add the show-desktop applet to the panel. Logout and login.  Hover over the showdesktop applet until the tooltip shows.  Now toggle the button.  The desktop application windows do not toggle correctly on and off
3. Install from proposed the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0 libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0
4. logout and login. Repeat 1 & 2 and note that they have been resolved
5. Mouse-over over a notification when it occurs - note it will now no longer disappear until you no longer mouse over.  

[Test Case - 18.10]

1. Examine the Menu - All.  Look for menu options that appear to be duplicated.  Note these.
2. From budgie-desktop-settings - configure Raven to hide a few options.  Logout and login.  Examine Raven - notice that the options chosen to hide have incorrectly reappeared.
3. Install from proposed the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0 libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0 libbudgie-private0
4. logout and login. Repeat 1 & 2 and note that they have been resolved


[Regression Potential]

 * The worst case scenario is that the cherry-pick fixes may introduce
instability issues.  Whilst the fixes themselves are - code-wise tiny -
there is a small possibility that a follow-up resolution may be
required.  This however is thought highly unlikely since the commits
have been cherry-picked to be self contained and are not dependent on
other commits.  Any issues are specific to Ubuntu Budgie or users how
are using budgie-desktop and have no impact on the wider Ubuntu
community.
