[Bug 1131385] Re: "Always on top" prevents application spread from working

 

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.3.2+15.10.20150512-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.3.2+15.10.20150512-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Add new signal to tell the Launcher to terminate keynav mode and use
    that signal when a BFB quicklist item is chosen. (LP: #1052024,
    #1444643)
  * Add option to enable and disable Unity low graphics mode on the fly
    in ccsm or via gsettings. (LP: #1412937)
  * Remove code that is no longer needed and broke opening application
    spread while in Launcher keynav mode. (LP: #1445082)
  * Save the active window when showing the Dash so the correct window
    is focused when hiding the Dash. Fixes issue when "Always on Top"
    windows are present. (LP: #1446634)
  * Save the active window when showing the Hud so the correct window is
    focused when hiding the Hud. Fixes issue when "Always on Top"
    windows are present. (LP: #1366583)
  * Send signal to ensure the Dash will show when entering keynav mode
    since the first icon always highlighted is the BFB. (LP: #1444113)
  * When looking for the top-most valid window in a VP, also check if
    the window is focused if the window is set to Always on Top. This
    allows Launcher icon spread to work properly when a window is
    minimized an Always on Top exists in the group. (LP: #1131385)
  * When using the left arrow to exit a Quicklist, Launcher keynav is
    implied and should be active regardless of how the Quicklist was
    opened. (LP: #1444626)

  * The skydome rendering of the cube plugin was wrong with unity
    because transformation matrices set by the unityshell plugin were
    left in the opengl matrix stacks affecting other compiz plugins.
    Saving the compiz state at the beginning of the unityshell plugin
    rendering functions and restoring it at the end of them fixes the
    problem. (LP: #1446165)

  "Always on top" prevents application spread from working

Bug description:
  Consider you have many windows of the same type open. One method of switching between them is clicking the launcher icon which reveals the application spread. Now you can choose between the windows. This is how it should be. 
  However, the design idea was, if the windows are marked "Always on Top" there is no need for an application spread, as they are always on top. This is a bug and needs to be changed, because it does not consider minimized windows and therefore prevents switching to those windows. 
  If you have windows of the same application open, some of them minimized and ALL non-minimized windows are marked as "Always on top", the application spread does not work anymore, clicking the launcher does nothing.  Whether the minimized windows are marked always on top or not does not matter. 
  So the simplest way to reproduce  this bug would be:
  1.) Open two windows of the same application.
  2.) Minimize one and mark the other (non-minimized) as "Always on top". 
  3.) Try to switch to the minimized window using application spread
