Description David Palacio 2010-06-23 05:03:48 UTC 
Version:           SVN (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

There are two issues with the present windows kwin effect:

1. It hides windows not on current activity but, they still affect the layout, leaving big empty spaces .

2. Clicking where the hidden windows should appear does switch to that window and activity that window resides on.

Reproducible: Always

KDE 4.6 have the empty spaces for other activities windows and now with a close button.

I can confirm the bug. I like very much activites, but with this bug activites are not convenient to use :-(
Comment 9 FiNeX 2011-01-28 13:49:02 UTC 
P.S: I've forget to say that I confirm it in KDE 4.6 :-)

I can confirm the bug for KDE 4.6 from kubuntu backoprts ppa repository. With this bug activities lose all their effectiveness and working with them begin too much chaotic.
