[00:49] <smspillaz> slangasek: hm ?
[00:51] <slangasek> smspillaz: a late change in raring reverted a substantial patch to the constrain-to-workarea handling in the place plugin; I blame this change for my windows flying around between workspaces again today
[00:51] <smspillaz> slangasek: which windows ?
[00:51] <slangasek> all of them ;P
[00:51] <smspillaz> slangasek: steps to reproduce ?
[00:51] <slangasek> smspillaz: that will take time to determine
[00:52] <smspillaz> slangasek: the change that was reverted in raring at least was to do with windows which give themselves a StaticGravity position hint
[00:53] <smspillaz> I didn't read the specification exactly right and thought StaticGravity was to do more with placement than it was movement and resizing
[00:53] <slangasek> smspillaz: well, literally every window on my desktop wound up jammed onto a single workspace after some desktop resizing today; firefox, gnome-terminal, evince, etc
[00:54] <smspillaz> slangasek: I can give it a brief look if need be
[00:54] <slangasek> smspillaz: well, even explaining how I triggered it is cumbersome - feel free to ignore me until I have a chance to actually reproduce it
[00:55] <smspillaz> slangasek: coolio
[00:55] <smspillaz> slangasek: is that currently blocking the branch review at the moment? There is no rush, was just wondering
[00:55] <slangasek> smspillaz: not at all
[00:56] <smspillaz> okay cool
[00:56] <slangasek> just an ironic coincidence that it happened to me just as I was starting to review
[00:56] <smspillaz> heh
[00:58] <smspillaz> slangasek: ah, just noticed that you finished the review :)
[01:05] <smspillaz> slangasek: quick manual testing on trunk seeks to indicate that everything is working fine.
[01:07]  * slangasek nods
[12:58] <spindritf> hi, after upgrading to raring the scroll (edge scroll on the touchpad) doesn't work on the unity task-bar(/launcher/whatever-it's-called, the one with the large icons of running apps)
[12:58] <spindritf> how do I reenable scroll there?
[12:59] <spindritf> scrolling*
[13:05] <spindritf> that's the right channel to ask, though, right?
[13:28] <bregma> spindritf, yes, it's the right channel to ask
[13:28] <bregma> and it looks like there may be a bug there
[13:34] <spindritf> bregma, as in: it used to work for you, now it doesn't but it wasn't meant to be removed -- that kind of bug?
[13:35] <bregma> I don;t know if it ever worked for me, but I think it may never have been meant to be removed
[13:35] <spindritf> ok, against which package should I file it?
[13:35] <bregma> Unity
[13:35] <spindritf> thanks
[13:36] <bregma> soem changes went in to the Launcher scrolling in 13.04, that may have somehow gotten dropped
[13:36] <spindritf> oh, one more thing -- what is the proper name of that thing, Launcher?
[13:36] <bregma> yes
[13:37] <bregma> if it's no longer supposed to work that way, the UI designers will say so on your bug, and then we'll know for sure
[13:39] <spindritf> the move-the-cursor method of scolling is very annoying because if you move it foo far up, you leave the Launcher and then it closes
[13:40] <bregma> currently, the touchpad edge-scroll acts like a mouse wheel and tries to switch between windows in an active application...  it's a little unexpected
[13:40] <spindritf> oh, yeah
[13:40] <spindritf> so it will probably stay that way...
[13:40] <bregma> I think the UI designers need to comment on that
[13:40] <spindritf> %&*$
[14:00] <spindritf> ok: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1173623 ; thanks, bregma
[14:04] <spindritf> there used to be a setting for launcher in 11.10 iirc, something between hidden and visible -- it was visible until a window tried to use that space, what was it called?
[14:04] <spindritf> ducking?
[14:04] <spindritf> no
[14:04] <spindritf> dodge
[14:05] <spindritf> another victim of simplification
[15:38] <gnuts_linuz> Unity sucks
[15:38] <gnuts_linuz> But not any more
