[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: "Initiate Window Picker for All Windows" does not show all windows. It shows only windows from curent workspace.

 

@Bruno: please don't confuse things and don't use that bug to complain
about every other issue you might get with compiz

> Using the current behavior leads to windows flying all over the place,
invisible windows, windows stuck outside of the viewport, etc. I can't
see how anyone can use this in its' current state.

I'm using the current version, I've nothing "flying all over the place",
no invisible windows, no windows stuck outside of viewports ... those
are all different issues, open new bugs about those they have nothing
with the ticket open there

> Things were changed for this new behavior, braking the previous
behavior for everyone who used it (it is impossible to show all the
windows from all the desktops). I can't understand how hacking this
instead of fixing the expected behavior is better.

Not sure what you are talking about but fixing the "one workspace or all
workspace" action will fix none of the issues you complain about

> which is even worse when there are public patches that lots of people
have been using for ages without known issues.

where? you mean the patch there which changes the desktop behaviour? the
things you just complained about, being tired of "that change the
behavior of the desktop all the time" ... now you complain that we want
to keep some stability? if you want some credibility there you get to
pick, do you want things changing all the time and again to fix that
issue or do you want things to keep working in a consistant way?

> I fear for the transition to Wayland... :-(

what has wayland to do with any of this?

> I know, I know, this isn't a forum, and this doesn't help, and
whatever, but I've been happily using Ubuntu for so long, that coming to
this is making me very frustrated and sad, and I believe the more than
200 people reporting having this bug for so long are too.

sorry about that, but you are using work from volunteers there, you are
paying nothing for the product and people do the best to help, it's a
bit easy and unfair to just blame people who work for you on free to not
work enough
