Comment 46 for bug 1165420

I really don't expect to see this patched anymore, until Unity 8 at least. It is a regression that no dev seemed to care about, in fact, it was stated it was a design decision, until Mr. Shuttleworth gave voice... And then it got seemingly ignored again, while most effort went into the mobile interface, which is now actively being ported and co-designed for desktop usage as Unity 8. The next LTS should be shipped with Unity 8 as default, so I guess we'll get whatever solution they have or have not, or hopefully will found for this in Unity 8. And let's cross our fingers there will be one, as the HUD team seems to be the most hermetic of all Ubuntu teams regarding community feedback, so you never know what really to expect with them, until it is done.
