Description Federico Leva 2015-07-18 17:05:21 UTC
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press alt–tab

Actual results:

See screnshot. A panel appears at the side of the screen with previews of my various open windows. The currently selected one has a slight shade of light blue over a gray background.

Expected results:

The interface immediately conveys what window I'm switched to if I release tab (and hence whether I have to press tab again).


Additional info:

Since I upgrade to fedora 22, I never switch to the correct window when I use alt-tab. It's simply too hard to see what I'm switching to; in fedora 20 and 21 it used to be extremely intuitive and I didn't have to pay attention to details.

You can have the old tab behavior by changing visualization.

System Settings > Window Manager > Task Switcher > Main > Visualization > Thumbnail

As far as design problems go upstream would be a better place to make modifications.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 17:03:57 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
