@Daniel van Vugt

Thanks for your understanding and advice.

Do you have any recommendations for an alternative window manager that is:
- Officially Supported by Canonical under the support contract
- Touchscreen Friendly
- Secure
- Has a sidebar on the left (the product I sell is designed around the Unity design)

Gnome is supposed to be the de-facto standard Linux desktop for most distributions. I still don't understand why all these regression bugs are entering Gnome, and the Gnome developers are so hostile to listening to the users and use cases of their desktop. See the gitlab board you pointed me to where the dev, on the subject of the on screen keyboard, just says, nope, I designed it this way, not listening to reason of more than 30 people and then locks the ticket.

Even you said "If that's true then this is not a bug." in regards to window placement.
Which is just mind boggling, of course it's a bug when the window manager clearly prevents the end user from using the system.

There also needs to be an easier way to report things upstream. At the moment everything has to be typed over into a new ticket from Launchpad to Github. Can't there just be some kind of export ticket to GitHub markup?

Thanks again for any recommendations on Canonical supported Window Managers.
