[Bug 1092232] Re: Workspace switcher should ignore pointer position

 

Ubuntu 12.10 reached end-of-life so it's no longer supported and this
bug is fixed on 14.04 or later. I'm going to close it.

Title:
  Workspace switcher should ignore pointer position

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This behaviour wasn't there in 12.04 as far as I can remember:

  -Go to workspace 1
  -Have the mouse pointer in any area of the screen, except the top left quarter, or the dash
  -Open the workspace switcher with Super+S
  the workspace view is open
  -Press again Super+S (or without having released Super, press again S)

  What is expected:
  Unity goes back to the same workspace as before

  What happens:
  Unity goes to the workspace that is under the mouse pointer (so: workspace 2 if at the top right, 3 if at the bottom left, 4 if at the bottom right)

  I want to stress that even only the pointer location matters

  If the user would've clicked the underlying workspace, or selected it
  with the cursor keys, this would've been fine

  Use case:
  I have other applications opened in other workspaces... to get a glance of the status of a long-running operation, or to get a quick reminder of which applications are globally open (possibly easier to visually parse than glancing at the small white arrows in the dash) I sometimes use the Super+S shortcut followed quickly again by Super+S... this bug breaks it
