[Bug 1240977] [NEW] some modal dialog windows such as chromium-browser get stuck/lost/do not raise if on different desktop
Public bug reported:
Long bug title, but I see some issues with dialog windows and unity (or
compiz) and multiple desktops.
I have 6 different desktops and typically leave a chromium-browser
running in one. I'll have full screen windows in the others, and
To reproduce my initial problem:
* run a chromium-browser in one desktop
* switch to a different desktop
* get an alert (such as calender notice) from chromium
* click on a different window (ie, "lose" that window)
* try to find it
Clicking on the chromium icon in the launcher focuses the primary
chromium-browser window, which is not usable because the dialog was
modal.
I can see other similar issues even with 'ubuntu-bug's dialog windows.
* run 'ubuntu-bug unity'. That openes one "Apport" window with "Collecting problem information" and then another with 'Thanks for reporting'.
* put both windows partially hidden by a different window (browser or gnome-terminal, it doesnt matter)
* try to click on the exposed portion of the initial Apport window. it will not raise. If you can't see its title bar, and cant see the 'Thanks' window (or do not know it even exists), then you cannot get it to raise.
* Move the 'Thanks' window to a different desktop (alt-space to bring up the menu). Then try clicking on the Apport icon on the launcher, and see that it does nothing. Worse, if you switch to a different desktop (even the one with the 'Thanks' window) it switches you back to the 'Apport' window and raises that window, which is modal and thus cannot be used.
If you hvae lots of desktops and lots of windows, it can be very hard to
find the modal dialog. I've given up before and just killed chromium-
browser.
