[Bug 1195518] Re: Window focus wrong after minimizing

 

So, someone just closed the thread it because in a different release the
bug cannot be reproduced? That doesn't make much sense...  'Fix
released' doesn't seem an accurate status endpoint for this issue...
What got fixed? And how? Many people still use 12.04 LTS, which is the
release affected.

Title:
  Window focus wrong after minimizing

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When you minimize a window to the launcher, it remains with the focus,
  meaning that, for example, the global menu is the menu of the now
  minimized window.

  The focus should automatically go to the window immediately underneath
  it or, if no other window is open, to the desktop.

  When you minimize a window and then go to the global menu, it should
  be the menu of the window being displayed on top now, but instead is
  the menu of the app you just minimized. Clicking on the now-visible
  windows (or desktop) is not possible. Therefore, when you have two
  maximized windows, one in front of another, you can't serially
  minimize them by repeatedly pressing the minimize button. The second
  click will fail, because the focus is in an already minimized window.

  Clicking on the application icon of the launcher *does* restore the
  application. Also, using the window switcher or alt+tab shortcut also
  restores the application.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1.- Open 2 different applications (never mind if they're maximized or not)
  2.- Minimize the active one
  3.- Try to interact, for example, with 2nd window or the desktop -> not possible (also note, the global menu still keeps the name and options of the application.)

  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bit) precise
  unity -- version 5.18.0
