@desgua; that's because it is the current implementation, and people generally don't comment if they are happy with the status quo.
We had *a lot* of requests from the community to make the change described in bug #689733, so this debate is really is 6 of one, half a dozen of another. If we were to change the behaviour around to what it was before bug #689733 was implemented I guarantee we will have an equal number of people complaining that "I use workspaces to segment tasks/areas of life/contexts, for example I have one workspace for personal stuff I use in my lunch break, another workspace I use for work, and another workspace dedicated to the report I am working on. I use workspaces so that I can focus on the task at hand, please don't always display windows from other workspaces that I am not currently using." The issue is that there are several valid different ways of using workspaces, and we don't want to make a change that will inconvenience all the users who requested that we make the change described in bug #689733 in the first place. This is why this bug requests that this behaviour is made configurable in System Settings: ------------------------------ "- In the short term what we can do is expose this option in 'System Settings / Keyboard / Shortcuts'. We can add two new actions to this panel: 'Spread all windows on the current workspace' (default setting: Super+W) and 'Spread all windows on all workspaces' (default setting: Disabled) and then it will be easy for users to choose the behaviour that suites them best." ------------------------------ Can you see any alternative means of making all classes of workspace users happy without introducing this configuration option? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933776 Title: [regression] scale/spread: "Initiate Window Picker for All Windows" does not show all windows.
