Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 504717
Present Windows window switcher has unintuitive order
Last modified: 2009-12-04 07:51:22 EST
Description of problem: Using Alt-Tab switch with "Present Windows" plugin does not select previously focused window initially. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): unkonwn How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable Desktop Effects 2.Enable Present Windows plugin 3.In Present Windows configuration, enable "Use for window switching" 3.Use Alt-Tab to switch windows Actual results: One window is consistently positioned first when using alt-tab. The order in which windows are selected depends on where windows are layed out on the screen screen when using alt-tab, but sometimes windows are reordered based on size, and selection jumps around with successive alt-tabs. Expected results: The previous window used should be the first selected when alt-tab is pressed, as in other window switchers. Additional info: I use kde

Drew, firstly, have you upgraded all of your components and/or the whole distribution to Fedora 12, and if so, is this but still reproducable? Adel, if it is, just making sure you're aware of this issue/request. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Thanks, Chris and Adel. I have updated to Fedora 12. The bug is no longer reproducible.
Drew, thanks for the update and glad it is now working. I will set this bug to CLOSED NEXTRELEASE and if Adel wants to reopen it, he can. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
