[linearView] Activate workspace on window drop (1.66 KB, patch)
2010-05-05 20:47 UTC, Florian Müllner 		committed Details | Review

Description Owen Taylor 2010-05-05 17:20:13 UTC 
When you drop a window onto a workspace visible at the edge of the screen, I think you should follow that window to the new workspace - otherwise, it's hard to tell what happened. I don't think shuffling a bunch of windows to the next workspace at once is a common use case. (And we switch workspace when dropping on the +, so not switching is inconsistent.)

[linearView] Activate workspace on window drop

When a dropped window is accepted by a workspace in linear view, it
is moved to the new workspace. After that, the view zooms back in on
the original workspace, resulting in the moved window disappearing
from the user's sight.
Change this rather unexpected behavior, so that a successful drop
triggers a switch to the new workspace. This also improves consistency
with drops on the (+) area.

Patch looks good, feels much nicer this way.
