But now I understand what may have happened. The Canonical team tested
dodge windows as default and concluded that it made people
uncomfortable and then concluded that the option was not good even for

Well no , they concluded that it's too much to have three options and
they have to make a call which to should stay . Here you may be right
that this decision was flawed because they took data from users who did
not set that up themselfs . So after they cut it as an option they cut
it as a function too , to keep the code clean ...
Since the design team decided that they would complete delete "Dodge
windows" and keep "Always hide" (as non-default), I thought they have
tested both in the same conditions. And as I understood they tested
Dodge windows as default, the same should have been done with Always
hide. Or even better, they should have tested them as non-default (and
hence giving the users some kind of explanation of what the
non-default behavior was and asking them to change it themselves). If
such test in equal conditions was not done how do they know that users
prefer Hide always instead of Dodge windows? best, Paulo
Here the problem is that testing has its costs and they can't test every
detail like that .
