[Bug 1438937] [NEW] Ubuntu indicator icons often open the app window behind a maximized window

 

Public bug reported:

Hi, I'm on Vivid 15.04 beta 2.

Many apps in the Unity system tray have an option to open the main app
from the tray icon. (For example Skype, Transmission, the indicator-
multiload system monitor, messaging apps from the messaging indicator,
and others.) The problem is that the app window usually does not have
focus, and frequently opens behind the maximized window that is
currently in view. So it requires going to the panel, "Restore <app
name>", and then clicking on the app in the dock to make the window come
to the top. I think it should automatically come to the top and receive
focus when using a "Restore" option from a system tray option.

Thanks!

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: indicator-multiload (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu)
