Switching presenter causes layout to reset #1915

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a change to one or more windows in the Flash client
2. Switch the presenter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The layout will reset to the default configuration for your current layout. 
Instead it should be keeping the changes if possible because there are 
legitimate reasons for customizing the layout.

This reset "feature" was recently made to work again in the following pull 
request, https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/pull/582.

The reason that the reset on presenter switch functionality exists is because 
you can have a layout definition for the presenter specifically and you have to 
revalidate the layout to make sure that it is accurate for their current role. 
It would be a much better experience if there was added functionality to check 
if the currently shown layout is the same as the one that it should be 
switching to and if it is the same then don't move the windows around.

We want to remove this "feature" and not have it reset the layout when changing 
presenter.  The layout change will be unexpected to everyone, especially when 
the presenter frequently changes during student presentations or bringing in a 
guest speaker.
