[Bug 1283775] Re: Launcher: icon pips are not always updated properly

 

Today, I installed Ubuntu 14.04 64bit on a spare HDD, and applied all
updates. I checked whether the bug still affected the system. It did.
After that, I enabled the proposed repository and updated the system. I
can also confirm, that the new version of unity fixes the issue (I don't
have time for 'long term' testing, but as I see Jorge Morais's results
are also promising).

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The number of pips next to the Launcher icon may not be accurate and
  lead the user to believe that the number of open windows for a
  particular app is not what is true in reality.

  [Test Case]

  1. Open up 2 Firefox windows.
  2. Close one of the windows.

  Pips (the little arrows) next to the Launcher icon should reflect the
  number of open windows.

  [Regression potential]

  None identified.

  Original Description:

  Only occurs when there is just 1 app's windows (unmaxed),  assumes multiple workspaces is enabled
  Test case:
  Open nautilus (1 pip shows up
  R. click nautilus icon > open another nautilus window (a 2nd pip does not show, likely due to Bug 1281816
  Drag the 2nd naut window fully into current ws, 2nd pip still not shown
  Click on Desktop, 2nd pip shows up

  Close one of the naut windows, icon still shows 2 pips.
  Click again on Desktop, 2nd pip is then removed
