Description of problem: This request is a very subtle issue. The application switcher menu allows you to highlight an object with the mouse, and upon alt+tab release, the application or window is raised to focus. However, if the mouse already is over the application switcher as it appears, moving the mouse does not trigger the selection of the window that is under the mouse, until the mouse changes the highlighted item to the left or right (or leaves the switcher and returns.) To produce this, you need to open at least 2 or more applications. Place the mouse in the centre of the screen, or slightly to the right of centre, and press alt tab. The switcher will appear, and hopefully, an unselected window is below the mouse. Moving the mouse gently, (IE wiggle it) over the single unselected item. The selection will not move to this item. The defect is that it *should* on mouse motion (But should not change with no mouse motion), select the item under the mouse, rather than needing to move the mouse out of the switcher and back. This enhancement will improve the user experience by creating the ability to more quickly swap windows. How reproducible: Always
This can be fixed by editing the file: /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/switcherPopup.js and changing the following on line 20: const DISABLE_HOVER_TIMEOUT = 1;
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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.
