[Bug 961977] Re: Launcher shows arrows for applications on all workspaces

 

I want to propose reverting this change. I consider the current behavior to be a bug. Switching is far more useful across workspaces and hardly useful inside the current one.
I have been upgrading Ubuntu since 12.04 up until 14.04 and am quite sure the behavior did not break then. Recently I reinstalled 14.10 and now I can not get the correct behavior back. So I assume it is a setting that is just not offered anymore.

PLEASE revert or at least make this configurable.

Title:
  Launcher shows arrows for applications on all workspaces

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity Distro Priority:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Failed checkbox-unity testcase launcher/arrows-notin-currentws (on
  step 5). When an application is opened on more than one workspace and
  there is an application window on the current workspace, the arrows on
  the launcher show the count for all applications on all workspaces. By
  design it should be only the windows on the current workspace.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Start nautilus on workspace 1
  2. Switch to workspace 2
  3. Start a new nautilus window on workspace 2

  Expected result:
  Launcher shows one arrow to the left of the nautilus icon.

  Actual result:
  Launcher shows two arrows to the left of the nautilus icon.
