Public bug reported:
Currently, it is possible to right click on the name bar of a windows to get
the drop-down menu allowing the following actions:
- Minimise
- Maximise
- Move
- Resize
- Always on top
- Always on visible workspace
- Only on this workspace
- Move to workspace x
- Move to workspace y
- Move to another workspace > ...
- Close
However, when a window is maximised and the top bar is merged with the
panel, allowing the global menu, there is no way to access this menu,
except going back to windowed mode, thus adding an extra step to execute
an action like moving the window to another workspace.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:
The top panel's empty space should be right-clickable in order to be
able to access those options as easily as in windowed mode.
Another option, not as good as the first one, would be to add another
drop-down menu in the global menu, that would appear only when the
window is maximised. The advantage would be the ability to use those
actions with the HUD; however, adding a "Window" drop-down menu would
interfere with apps that already have one, like LibreOffice Writer for
example.
I am using Ubuntu 12.10 32 bits.
