shell-app: Fix typo (969 bytes, patch)
2015-01-30 17:00 UTC, Florian Müllner 		committed Details | Review

Description Guillaume Desmottes 2015-01-30 09:26:10 UTC 
- Open a gnome-terminal window on workspace 1 and 2 (full screen)
- Open GEdit on workspace 1 (full screen)
- Open devhelp on workspace 2 (full screen)
- Make sure GEdit and devhelp are focused/displayed
- On workspace 1 focus gnome-terminal using Alt+Tab
- Switch to workspace 2

Actual result: gnome-terminal is now focused on workspace 2
Expected result: devhelp should still be focused, switching views in one
workspace shouldn't affect what happens in another one.

Thanks a lot for the quick fix Jasper.
Do you think this fix could be backported to the stable branch as well? It seems safe enough and would make my life much more better. :)

Comment 5 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2015-01-30 17:16:58 UTC 
I definitely compile-tested this patch -- "workspace" is defined at the top of the block, and it also adds a semicolon which causes the whole fix not to work.
Comment 6 Florian Müllner 2015-01-30 17:23:39 UTC 
Yeah, sorry for the noise - local patch in my tree, was already reverted a minute after pushing it.
