[Bug 1221982] Re: Dash visibly reorganizes recent items

 

** Description changed:

  I am not sure if this problem depends on the processing power of the PC
  or not.
  
  Say my last opened application is Nautilus (Files), then it will appear
  as the first item in the Dash home lens. Suppose I closed Nautilus. Now
- I open Firefox (via the Launcher or via the Dash home lens). If I go
- back to the Dash home screen Nautilus will still be the first item in
- the recent applications. A little duration after opening the Dash,
- Firefox is then set as the first one.
+ I open Firefox via the Dash home lens (but I'm not sure about all the
+ conditions for reorganizing). If I go back to the Dash home screen
+ Nautilus will still be the first item in the recent applications. A
+ little duration after opening the Dash, Firefox is then set as the first
+ one.
  
  The problem is that for my hardware this little duration is in the order
  of a second, so if I would like to open Nautilus I end up clicking on
  the newly positioned Firefox icon.
  
  I would suggest that all this reorganization be done on the background
  while the Dash is closed, so there's no way to make a mistake while
  trying to click a "moving" icon.
  
  ** What happens **
  
  When I open the Dash, the icons are repositioned in a hardware-dependent
  long time.
  
  ** What should happen **
  
  If I am not searching, that the positions of the icons be fixed in
  between "Dash sessions." This implies that the recently used items be
  sorted while the Dash is closed.

** Description changed:

  Say my last opened application is Nautilus (Files), then it will appear
  as the first item in the Dash home lens. Suppose I closed Nautilus. Now
  I open Firefox via the Dash home lens. If I go back to the Dash home
  lens, Nautilus will still be the first item in the recent applications.
  A little duration after opening the Dash, Firefox is then set as the
  first one.
  
  The problem is that for my hardware (Intel 945GM integrated graphics)
  this little duration is in the order of a second, so if I would like to
  open Nautilus I end up clicking on the newly positioned Firefox icon.
  
  I would suggest that all this reorganization, not related to searching,
  be done in the background while the Dash is closed, so there's no way to
  make a mistake while trying to click a "moving" icon.
  
  ** What happens **
  When I open the Dash, the icons are repositioned. The duration of such process is hardware dependent.
  
  ** What should happen **
- If I am not searching, the positions of the icons should be fixed in a "Dash session." This implies that the recently used items be sorted while the Dash is closed.
+ If I am not searching, the positions of the icons in the Dash home lens should be fixed. This implies that the recently used items be sorted while the Dash is closed.
