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

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???
Classic mode is provided by the gnome-shell-extensions 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???
The actual background colour doesn't change much, its more that the
font's get dimmed to a light gray. For GTK3 apps this applies to the
whole window (see gedit for example), for other toolkits such as QT
and maybe GTK2 it only applies to the titlebar text.
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 :^(
