Hi Patrik,

I typically don't use the new GNOME Classic session but I used it today for several hours and found the following:

When I run in classic mode in 14.04 and press mouse button for applications menu, I often get the activities menu. At least the first time. Is it a known problem?

Yes, well not so often for me, but throughout the day twice when clicking on Applications the Activities Overview window appeared. That was twice out of maybe 100+ clicks on Applications so it's difficult to reproduce.

I included Tim in the conversation because I'm not sure what package to file that against? I would guess 'gnome-shell' because AFAIK the the new GNOME Classic session is not a separate package???

I do wish you'd file the bug report and follow up because I have a lot on my plate just testing the default GNOME DE and flashback w/metacity for lower resource machines :^)

Another problem I see is the title bar of each window. Is it by design that you shouldn't easily see which window has focus? Another color painted, when is has focus.

No worse than in 'gnome-shell' IMHO. I guess the different shades of gray could be better defined???

Maybe Alfredo has an idea here?

My own vision is quite poor and I find it much easier to use almost always maximized windows in additional workspaces which works well in both 'gnome-shell' and 'flashback w/metacity'.

The rest of this is purely opinion, and out of Ubuntu GNOME's control, but I do find the overall usage of GNOME Classic to be "clunky" :^(

I almost continually click on Activities Overview to find a familiar layout anyway so I see little point in supporting this session but it's GNOME's new thing :^(
