Description Christian Muehlhaeuser 2016-10-20 06:58:55 UTC
When I try to send a window to another activity (away from the current activity) via the window-bar's context-menu, it will enable it to be visible on all activities instead of the one I picked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a window's context-menu, pick another activity for it in the "Activities" sub-menu.
2. Instead of the checkbox being ticked and the window being sent to the new activity, "All Activities" gets ticked and enabled.

Actual Results:  
Window gets shown on all activities

Expected Results:  
Window should get sent to the activity I picked in the context menu

Can you explain which window-bar are you referring to? The window title bar, or the task bar? (both of them have the same context menu, but differently implemented, so it is important for me to know which one it is)

And can you test both of them and see whether one works, or whether both are broken?
Comment 2 Christian Muehlhaeuser 2016-10-23 00:51:13 UTC
I was originally referring to the window title bar. I've just checked both context menus: they both show the same behavior that I described above.

Any new info on this?
Comment 4 Christian Muehlhaeuser 2017-01-16 11:20:20 UTC
Yes, I think I understand now. Unlike the Desktop switcher, the Activity switcher is a checkbox, not a radiobox. So ticking the second of two boxes won't tick that box, but instead switches to ticking "All Activities".

As such this report is probably invalid, as it's not supposed to send the window to another activity, but keep it there until i untick the current activity's box.

It became a lot clearer to me once I had added a third activity to my desktop.

I'll mark this as resolved/invalid as to my last comment.
