Description Edney Matias 2011-01-10 13:31:04 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.95) 
OS:                Linux

I have the upper lefte corner of my screen configured to present windows and its working great except that it's showing all windows from the current desktop of all activities i have running. 

Don't know if I made mysefl clear, but for exemple, I have two activities with two desktops each. If I am on the first desktop and use present windows, it shows the windows from that desktop and any other windows from first desktop of the other activity.

Actually it doesn't show the window at all, but it's there, the close button is shown when i hover the mouse over the empty space and if I click, it switches to the supposed application and alternates the activity.

When I just use present windows this behavior doesn't pose a problem at all but I also have the bottom left  corner configured to show desktop grid which is in turn configured to present windows. Sometimes I want to switch destkop and ends switching desktop, application and activity in one maneuver.

Right now the left corner is configure to show only the windows from the current desktop. If I change to all windows from any desktop, it ignores the current desktop and show all windows from any activity. 

Would be great to have one option to limit to windows of the current activity only. For now, I will disable the option to present windows on grid effect.

Thank you.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Activate present windows, it should show windows from the current desktop of any active activity. The windows from other activities aren't shown at all, but you can hover over they supposed area and click to close or select them.

It didn't help at all to disabel present windows on desktop grid, it stil alternating activities when I click in an empty area. Suppose I have two indows mamixed on the desktops of the other activity and all windows from the current activiy are minimized. When I activate the desktop grid it shows no windows correctly but if I click on one empty desktop, it switches to that desktop, but also alternates the activity and show the application from that activity desktop that is maximized.
