Description kthiele 2016-06-18 17:33:59 UTC

When you have multiple instances of a single application open and they are grouped you can only close one window at a time instead of keeping the tooltip open to close other ones, too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple instances of an app, so that they group (or simple use icon only taskmanager)
2. Try to close a few one of them


Actual Results:  
The tooltip will close and only one instance will be closed

Expected Results:  
The tooltip should stay up as long as my mouse is hovering over the icon so that I can close more windows

Changing the behavior would be fairly trivial but I'll let Usability team decide whether we should do that.

Comment 2 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-06-19 14:58:33 UTC

Interestingly enough, the tooltips are inconsistent between the regular task manager and icon-only task manager. The regular one behaves as asked for here, only the icon-only one closes the tooltip.

This inconsistency should be fixed, and keeping the tooltip open makes more sense, so please change it in icon-only.

Comment 3 kthiele 2016-06-19 16:35:11 UTC

For me it doesn't work in either the regular nor icon- only task manager

Comment 4 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-06-19 20:20:56 UTC

I just checked the code and both applets should behave the same, ie. close the popup when one window is closed

Comment 5 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-06-19 20:56:21 UTC

Strange. I've just re-tried and the task manager still keeps it open.
Maybe you both are using 5.7 beta or master and it was changed with the new task manager?

I don't know, but keeping it open definitely makes more sense.

Comment 6 Eike Hein 2016-06-20 03:41:54 UTC

There's no code differences between the regular and icons-only Task Managers as far as the tooltip is concerned. Both currently close the tooltip. It's possible to change this and I'm not opposed.

Don't hide tooltip when closing one of a group's windows from it.

VDG- and user-requested behavior change.
