GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 709034
Switching to window and then scrolling hides window
Last modified: 2013-12-15 12:17:01 UTC
If you are in overview mode and you switch to a scrollable window, then you have to wait until the animation is finished before actually starting to scroll. If the animation is not finished, you're technically still in overview mode, where the scroll action moves you to the next workspace. In the most common case, you'll end up moving to an empty workspace, effectively hiding all windows.
Created attachment 256040 [details] [review] overview: Add cover pane directly to overviewGroup The cover pane is used to block events during transitions, but as workspaces don't share the same container as other overview elements, they are currently excempt from the event blocking. Move the cover pane to the top-level overview container instead.
Review of attachment 256040 [details] [review]: OK.
