Dock right-click window list pointlessly moved to "All Windows" submenu

[Jonathan Kamens]

In Ubuntu 17.10, when I right click on an application in the dock, rather than seeing a list of all my windows for that application in the menu that pops up, that list has now been relegated to an "All Windows" submenu.

This is pointless and stupid. It adds two extra actions -- moving the mouse to the "All Windows" menu item and clicking on it -- every time I want to switch to a different application window using the dock. I can't see any justification for this change whatsoever. Please bring back the old behavior.

(Also, the "All Windows" submenu now shows pictures of windows as well as window titles. The presence of those pictures should be configurable (at least). I don't need to see pictures of my windows, the titles were always sufficient, took up less space, and were quicker to parse and navigate than pictures are.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Did you know Alt+` (the key above Tab) does roughly the same thing? (switches between windows of the same app)

Yes.

And I can't use it because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1726195
