[Bug 1404717] [NEW] Impossible to close windows in app spread when they require further prompts

 

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Terminal app (for example).
2. Execute an interactive program, e.g. top
3. Open Unity app spread (Super+W).
4. Hover over Terminal window and click red 'X' button to close it.
5. Prompt opens: "Close this terminal?" as an additonal window in the app spread.

Expected behaviour:
Unity provides a means of closing the window directly from the spread.

Actual behaviour:
To close the window, the user must click on the "Close this terminal?" prompt, closing the app spread, then they must also click "Close Terminal".

This is far too many steps just to close a window from the spread that
requires a further prompt. Ideally, the user should be able to interact
with the "Close this terminal?" directly from the app spread.

I have attached a screenshot with an example of how this looks
currently.
