--- Comment #14 from Michał Dybczak <michal.dybc...@gmail.com> ---
The old overview for me is the effect with its darkened background and darkened
windows. It may have be named as Present Windows before, can't remember. The
actual Overview from 5.23 - I have no idea what are you speaking about. I was
using overview since years and if an additional version showed up in 5.23, I
was not aware of it and have no idea what is the difference between the old one
and the present new one.
Again, after the update to 5.24 the overview worked as before as the old
version with darkened background and windows. I had impression that the
animation is slightly different now and similar to the new effect, but still,
no search box, no virtual desktops and darkened background and windows. I did
wonder if the new effect will be a new one and conflicting with old one, and if
activating the new one, that was disabled by default, will disable the old one.
So I enabled Overview in desktop effects and... no change. So I disabled it and
now the old overview was disabled too. So I enabled it again, overview came
back, still as an old version, and that is the state now.
WAIT! I still have Present Windows effect in settings, and it's enabled! Got
it!
1. I disabled the Present Window effect.
2. I disabled and enabled Overview again.
3. I needed to change the Overview's shortcut to default meta+d (previously it
was showing the same as I have for Present Windows... or maybe I'm imagining
it?).
4 Checked the new, default shortcut and the new Overview worked!
So the actual bug here is some interference between Present Windows and
Overview, because:
1. Disabling Overview was disabling Present Windows.
2. It probably was showing the same shortcut as Present Windows, although this
shouldn't be possible. I don't remember if it had it from the beginning, or if
I re-mapped it that way (if so, it was because there was no binding applied, at
least that is what my memory returns, may be wrong thou). If the latter, this
shouldn't be possible. The fact is, I did try meta+d then, and it didn't work,
and I was not surprised, because I saw the correct binding there or no binding
at all, then possibly applied the same that I used for Present Windows (meta+x
- more comfortable to trigger than meta+d)
4. Because of the same shortcuts and both being enabled, the old Present Window
took precedence. Maybe if the shortcuts were different, two effects can
co-exist? Let's check!
5. Yes, both can co-exist, when they are both enabled and have different key
bindings. Nice! Maybe it can stay that way? Everyone can choose what he/she
prefers. Now that I set it that way, disabling Overview is not disabling
Present Windows. So something in the initial settings after the update was
causing the interference, possibly an old config? Now that I defaulted key
binding of Overview, all behaves correctly.
I believe now that with fresh or more vanilla settings, all will work
correctly, and you won't be able to reproduce the bug, because some old config
with manually changed shortcuts for Present Window should be in the system
before the update, then the update needs to be applie, and then Overview
enabled... I guess no one will want to do all of that just to check it.
Anyway, I set it as WORKSFORME and in case someone will have a similar issue,
you will know more Nate. Thanks! I wouldn't solve it without you!
