[Bug 689733] Re: Application icons should only display windows from the current workspace in the window spread

 

I tested a bit these new "single workspace" approach. I see two
problems:

User has to know where open windows are and switch to that
workspace/screen. This leads to a lot off unnecessary seek/hide
operations and additional burden on the user.

User selects Quit in Quicklist and it closes all running instances of
application across all workspaces and there is no indication some open
instances from this group of application exist because user can't summon
them all on working space. The only way to find out is to switch among
all available workplaces to find out if there are any opened windows
belonging to this group of applications.

I must say i really don't understand why this was changed and this new
approach can only work well on single screen/workspace setup and is not
usable on multi screen/workspace setup but on single screen/workspace it
already worked like that without any changes?
