Window management - Maximized windows aren't fullscreen in the workspace switcher

Confirmed. I did not even realize the old behaviour existed. This probably regressed in r3481.

Actually, make it Low. I don't think it's a good idea to unrealistically pick and choose which workspaces to scale differently in expo based on their windows. All workspaces should be scaled identically.

Sounds like this is a regression on the old behaviour from when we upstreamed the patch.

Daniel the reason I made it do that was for the exact reasons this bug points out - things just look wrong when you enter the workspace switcher mode.

So this won't be fixed for raring?

Will this be fixed in Trusty? Since it's an LTS and 12.04 does not have this bug, it would make sense to fix this regression, looks much more polished when windows are maximized.

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.11+14.10.20140606-0ubuntu1

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Only ungrab the Mod2Mask modifier on buttons 4-7 to allow scrolling
    in unfocused Gtk windows while still allowing keybinding modifiers
    to other scroll wheel actions. (LP: #1311788)
  * Fix issue where window decorations would be placed under the Panel
    when opening a new window from an already open window. This is due
    to the already open window being taller or just as tall without be
    maximized than the workspace. (LP: #1303462)
  * Only constrain the non-modifier scrolling to the vertical scrolling
    buttons - buttons 4 & 5. (LP: #1311303)
  * Fix issue where maximized windows would get moved to different
    workspaces when disconnecting/connecting an external monitor.
    Windows should stay in the same workspace they are in when the
    monitor event occurs. (LP: #1304531)
  * Fix issue where custom keyboard shortcuts would get reset to
    defaults when rebooting or restarting Compiz. (LP: #1063617)
  * Fixes issue in the Expo plugin where a gap is shown in the place
    where the Launcher and Panel should be when windows are maximized.
    This was originally removed in rev. 3481. (LP: #1087090)
  * Fix issue where horizontal and vertical keyboard resizing could not
    happen at the same time. (LP: #347390)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * Scale: use XShape extension to exclude dnd input in the screen-parts
    outside workArea This will work property also in multi-monitor,
    without requiring multiple X windows for each output device. Also
    don't terminate the scale unless a drag-n-drop action is not really
    over. Add a spinner that shows up over a window, during the DnD
    timeout. Plus, make sure we terminate the scale without focusing the
    selected icon when cancelling it and some code cleanup (LP: #607796)
  * Event: set the screen grabbed also when we get a NotifyWhileGrabbed
    Focus{In,Out} event (LP: #1305586)

This bug is fixed in Utopic but when I tried how it works by running the newest iso image in live mode I discovered a new problem.

The maximized windows dragged in the workspace switcher don't overlay the workspaces in the usual way. Instead they end up being under some of the workspaces and they can trigger display of tooltips from other windows.

Yey! Awesome work with the fix. Will it be backported to 14.04?

Hello John, or anyone else affected,

Accepted compiz into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/1:0.9.11.1+14.04.20140617-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure how to mark the verification because the problem which I described in comment #9 is also now in the SRU for Trusty.

I can also confirm Mateusz issue, dragged windows does not overlay workspaces properly.

Verified with the following drivers:
- Nvidia propertiery
- Radeon Open Source
- Virtualbox Guest

All on vanilla 14.04 with upgraded packages from proposed;
sudo apt-get upgrade compiz-gnome/trusty-proposed libcompizconfig0/trusty-proposed compiz-plugins-default/trusty-proposed

Bah, I missed the comment on June 15th. Yeah, this is a regression and shouldn't be accepted in the SRU. What we'll have to do is:

1. Create a new bug report for Utopic about the regression.
2. Respin the SRU to remove this change.
3. Hopefully fix this correctly for Utopic.
4. Get it into a future SRU for Trusty.

Christopher for some reason this bug is again listed for verification process in Pending SRUs for Trusty.

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html

Seems like it was incorrectly placed on that listing because here there is no SRU test request and of course you reverted those changes in updated packages.

The fix was removed from -proposed.
