Annoying behavior of a boinc-manager window

[Simplehuman]

To reproduce:

1. Open boinc-manager.
2. Switch to a "Full view" (Shift+Ctrl+A)
3. Open some other windows (for ex. nautilus, firefox).
4. Minimize boinc-manager.
5. Close all other windows to show the desktop.
6. Boinc will come up by it self.

P. S.: Boinc is coming up when it is minimized and I'm trying to turn off or reboot my OS.

Could you try boinc from here?

On 7.0.36 I'm not affected at all

Thank you for your answer, I have added this PPA and will try to reproduce this bug with a new version after work.

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

Still having this issue. Version 7.0.36 doesn't help. And this issue it not only for my PC. I have it on my laptop, another PC with different hardware and 1 more laptop.

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

The example for the first issue

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

As you can see - it is not maximized to a global menu as it should be. I have it only with Boinc and Figaro's Password Manager.

But the most annoying is the second issue with only boinc-manager.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I think I know what the second issue is, the first one is something not related to boinc but to wx I think, I cannot reproduce on gnome-shell (Can you verify?)

The second problem I think is related to this changeset

You want me to install gnome-shell and try to reproduce it there?

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

So the second one won't be fixed in Ubuntu as it, as I understand, filled in upstream?

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

If you can try gnome-shell would be nice, for the second issue I'll build a private drop for you :)

I'll install gnome-shell this evening and test it. For the private drop - thank you. It will be available only in PPA, or for all Ubuntu users? I think I must not be the only affected

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I'm building it in another ppa
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/skype4py

will be available in a few hours
(I don't know, maybe you will have to remove the existin one prior to install this)

Ok I removed my personal drop, please try only gnome-shell

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

Okay... I was using gnome-shell for the first time and don't know exactly the normal behaviour of windows in it. But it seems to be no problem in it.

What I have done:

1. Opened boinc-manager in a full view.
2. Opened Nautilus, Writer, qBittorent.
3. Minimized boinc-manager by clicking on a "close" button in the right up corner.
4. Switched to another windows and started to close them.

Boinc don't came up.

But in Unity there is a problem.

About your personal drop... It won't work? Or why you removed it?

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

the private drop didn't fix the problem...

And for the Unity DM I think we have to report it on unity bug tracking, or into the wxwidgets one.

I have opened a new bug, because the first issue is affecting not only boinc-manager.

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

Any attention on this bug? It is still actual

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Simplehuman (simplehuman)]

I can't reproduce this bug in Ubuntu 14.04, so I think it is fixed

[James (choda42)]

I am currently running Boinc 7.2.42(x64) on Ubuntu 14.04lts.
I have the same problem. When I minimize Boinc then close another window, Boinc maximizes on it's own.
I have had this problem for a while even with consistent updates.
