Most open windows move to the last used workspace after screen lock #957

Open zeeshansayyed opened 3 years ago

zeeshansayyed commented 3 years ago

(1) Issue/Bug Description: I use a two monitor setup on Ubuntu 20.04 with 4 static work-spaces enabled only on the primary display. When I lock my screen and come back to it after some time, I always find that many (not) all windows have moved to the workspace that was last open at the time of locking. This does not happen when you lock and immediate unlock.

I saw a couple of other issues that were similar but not exactly the same. I have been experiencing this since I started using Pop Shell (almost a year now) and have been keeping upto to date with the latest version.

(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know): Open a window in each of the workspaces. Open 2-3 nautilus windows in Workspace 1. Open 2 browser windows in workspace 4 and may be code editors in workspace 2 and 3. Move to workspace 3. Lock the monitor and let it be for a while (I haven't measured exactly when this happens, but I feel a few minutes should do it). It doesn't happen if you immediately unlock. When you unlock after a short break, all the nautilus windows and at least 1 browser windows would have moved to workspace 3.

(3) Expected behavior: The windows should stay in the work-spaces they were in before locking the monitor.

This is still happening on 42ff8d4. The behavior is slightly different between 20.04 (3.36) and 21.04 (3.38):

I am seeing this basically every time I run through the regression test checklist. This seems like it could be a duplicate of https://github.com/pop-os/shell/issues/217, but I know it wasn't occurring this often until earlier this year (when this issue was opened), and I'm not seeing an "irreparable state" like that other issue refers to.

zeeshansayyed commented 3 years ago

@mmstick @jacobgkau Does this happen on other setups as well? I haven't tried it on dual monitor system with the same resolution. Also, I had a a request to please prioritize this. I completely understand that as developers you have your own priorities. I love Pop OS shell so much that I have been using it for more than a year despite this issue. Every time I am afk, the windows gather all on one workspace. It can be really annoying at times.

If not the bug, do you want me to try different options to see what might work? I am completely aware of how this works, but I am ready to try things and report the results to you to help fix this.

Thanks

This is happening to me as well on a clean 21.04 install. I currently have the following configuration:

zeeshansayyed commented 2 years ago

@mmstick I recently used a different wide screen monitor (Samsung) in place of my original wide screen monitor (Acer), keeping the smaller monitor constant. I found that the new setup didn't have the same issue and everything worked as it should. Going to my original setup, the issue still persists. I hope this helps narrow down the bug.

gerritzen commented 2 years ago

Since it says Fixed by #975, I'd like to point out that this bug (or a similar one) still exists. However, after unlocking, the external screen was disabled in gnome-settings. After re-enabling, the manual layout (external as primary screen and laptop at the bottom left) was gone and had to be set again. This has never happened to me before using Pop Shell.

It seems natural that all windows from the workspaces of the external screen are collected on the internal one if it is "disconnected". However, I did not disconnect and vanilla gnome seems to be able to handle this.

I can confirm the issue, which I just had and which makes it impossible for me to use pop shell.

I have this issue after switching to use wayland. To clarify: I'm on pop 22.04. I did not have this problem when using gnome, but I recently switched to wayland to prepare for using the new cosmic desktop.

I tried cosmic, following the instructions on the cosmic-epoch readme. (I do not have nvidia, so I skipped that part.) I had some issues that I realized were just related to wayland (clipboard issues with emacs). So, now I'm using the standard pop os 22.04, but with wayland instead of gnome so that I can work out any other changes wayland might bring me. That switch is when I started seeing this issue. It appears to be similar to #917, but I'm not using a laptop and I'm not changing which monitors are plugged in.
