Description sumner 2002-12-08 19:10:02 UTC
When grouping is turned on for the tasklist, several tasks are displayed in
a popup menu when one of the tasklist buttons is clicked.  I would like
this popup menu to be alphabatized. 

When developing code, I often have many xemacs windows open (12 right now),
each with a different source file.  Currently, they are listed in a
randomish order (in reality, it's probably ordered by when I opened the
windows).  When I want to maximize one of my xemacs windows, I have to
search through the list and find the one I want, and click on it.  This is
slow because the files are not listed in a useful order for searching.  If
they were alphatized in that list, I could find the particular window that
I want much more quickly.

For example, see http://graphics.lcs.mit.edu/~sumner/tmp/tasklist.jpg
There's no ordering to all of those files, and it's hard to find one
in the list.

Thanks!
Bob

Since this bug has been around a while and seems like a good enhancement to the
gnome taskbar panel, I'm increasing its priority.

Thanks!

I don't think Urgent is correct.  It may be a slightly annoying usability bug
(in that predictability isn't as good as it could be), but it definitely doesn't
block usage of a large part of the product.
