Bug Description
When you connect a mouse to bq 4.5 ubuntu ed. In vertical mode the buttons for close, minimize and maximize aren't shown for maximized windows. Looks like it haven't space.
To post a comment you must log in.
The buttons are not there because just connecting a mouse does not switch it to windowed mode on a phone. You can force it with:
$ gsettings set com.canonical. Unity8 usage-mode Windowed
We're working on some UI for that as well.
While minimize and maximize make no sense in the phone UI, a close button could potentially be added (maybe visible on hover). We likely need it in the right-edge switcher, similar to the windowed one, as swiping apps away with a mouse is awkward.
That said, mouse connected to a phone is not our priority, as it's an esoteric enough use case.
