Description Benjamin Kahn 2004-10-19 18:57:35 UTC 
When windows are grouped together, the right click menu should act on all the
grouped windows.  Right clicking on the group menu itself should allow you to
act on a single window.  Right now there isn't a good way to work with the
window groups.

I don't understand what you mean here.  It sounds similar to bug 94683, though I
don't follow it either.  It also sounds like it may be a duplicate of bug 131568.
Comment 2 Benjamin Kahn 2004-10-20 04:00:20 UTC 
I'd say bug 94683 is the same, but bug 131568 is a different solution.  Right
now if I have two firefox windows and they are grouped, I see these menus:

Left click:
 ----------------------------
| Page One - Mozilla Firefox |
| Page Two - Mozilla Firefox |
[ [O]     firefox-bin (2)    | ]

Right click:
                                 -----------------
                                | Minimize        |
                                | Unmaximize      |
                                | Roll Up         |
                                | Move            |
                                | Resize          |
                                | --------------  |
                                | Close           |
 -------------------------------| --------------  |
| Page One - Mozilla Firefox  > | Put on all      |
| Page Two - Mozilla Firefox  >  -----------------
[ [O]     firefox-bin (2)     | ]

The idea is to make the right click menu have operations for the entire window
group:

Minimize All
Maximize All
Roll Up All
Close All

and to allow the user to right click on the menu items in the left click menu. 
(Right-clicking on a window title would bring up the window menu as it is shown
above.

Make sense?  It's not all that original -- Windows follows the same behavior.

Ah, yes.  Thanks for the clarification.

Moving to the right component. Sorry for the spam.

Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2007-05-19 21:59:32 UTC 
We already have this. I've added Maximize all/Unmaximize all since it can make sense too.
