Description Peter Janes 2005-08-11 01:50:32 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
Package: gnome-panel
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.10.0 2.1.x
Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Synopsis: Clicking window in window list moves it to the current workspace
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Window List Applet
Bugzilla-Version: 2.1.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
Clicking a window in the window list used to switch focus to the
workspace on which the window existed.  It now moves the window to the
current workspace instead.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In "Window List Preferences" set "Window List Content" to "Show
windows from all workspaces", "Window Grouping" to "Never group
windows", and "Restoring Minimized Windows" to "Restore to native
workspace" (or "Restore to current workspace", it doesn't matter).
2. Configure two or more workspaces in "Workspace Switcher
Preferences".
3. Switch to workspace 1 and open a window (e.g. terminal).
4. Switch to workspace 2 and open another window.
5. Click the entry for the first window in the window list.

Actual Results:
The first window is moved to the second workspace, which retains focus.

Expected Results:
Focus is transferred to the first workspace and the first window is
active.

How often does this happen?
Always

Additional Information:
This worked as expected earlier today, but after logging out and in
again the behaviour changed.  It's possible the behaviour was introduced
in an update that just hadn't been applied, since I'd probably been
logged in for several weeks and the Fedora 4 RPM was updated to version
2.10.1 release 10.2 on July 26.
