Unity

Bug Description

Please see attached screenshot. If you open the quicklist for the two lenses of Unity, you can see the background is not correctly positioned. This also happen if you have a bunch of icons in your Launcher and you open a quicklist (the Launcher icon has to be at bottom of screen).

EDIT: Now Lenses are inside the main Dash, so the problem is less visible, but the bug is still there. See comment #4 of this bug.

This happened to me only with large quicklists, in the bottom-most icons in the Launcher, before the Lenses icons moving to the main Dash, so the problem now is less visible.

Screenshot Edit (224.2 KiB, image/png)

The bug is still there.

To test:
--------

- Install Ubuntu Tweak 0.6 from its ‘Next’ development PPA.
- Add Ubuntu Tweak to the Launcher, and add as many Launcher items so
the Ubuntu Tweak icon stays near the bottom of the screen.
- Open Ubuntu Tweak Launcher item’s quicklist.
- You will notice that the background of the quicklist is shifted down.

See the attached screenshot of current Oneiric.

Just a note: I mentioned Ubuntu Tweak because its launcher has a very big quicklist, and with it it’s easy to test this bug.

Spoke too soon: the bug is still there, but is less evident now. Certainly quicklists have been improved.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.1.0+13.10.20130920-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.1.0+13.10.20130920-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * render the Dash frame all the way to the bottom of the screen (lp:
    #1100120). (LP: #1100120)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * Ignore mouse movements if the mouse starts over a switcher icon.
    Clicking still works fine, we just wont steal focus from the alt+tab
    work. (LP: #1215630)
  * Make sure we ignore mouse movement over detail icons if the mouse
    starts over it at start. Let the mouse take selection control once
    it moves outside of any icon, vs having to enter a different icon.
    (LP: #1223037, #1223039)
  * Add an option to disable the mouse in the switcher. (LP: #1224048)
  * When the shortcut is open, and we receive a ButtonPress or KeyPress
    hide it. As this causes problems else where, and it really should
    close if the user attempts to do anything (even while holding
    super!). (LP: #932718)
  * Set an upper bound on the amount of icons we go through to check
    tooltips. As the accordion effect was causing the mouse to go
    through the icons to fast, making the test fail.
  * Make sure we move the mouse over the target icon while we are
    dragging the source icon.
  * Get the real shortcut to activate ibus. (LP: #1227056)
  * Only accept focus if the mouse moves in 3 directions on switcher
    start up if the mouse starts over the switcher window. This is an
    attempt to tell the difference between a bump and intentional
    movement. (LP: #1223630)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * DesktopApplicationManager: added new app manager layer so that we
    can emit app events.
  * Application: add desktop_id method, and implement in
    desktop::Application.
  * Launcher: only fade the launcher when in auto-hide and dash is
    opened. (LP: #1223979, #1044926)
  * ApplicationLauncherIcon: log unity zeitgeist events on stick,
    unstick, removal and delete. (LP: #779449)
  * UnityScreen: add support for Super+Arrows shortcuts to manage the
    focused window Super+Arrows shortcut allows to move and maximize /
    restore / minimize the focused window on the screen. (LP: #992697,
    #751050)
  * Launcher: use nux::Animation for all the launcher animations This
    allows to do these when compiz requests to prepare painting, instead
    of using only an idle to perform this. (LP: #1226114, #1224766)
  * ShortcutView: use StaticCairoText instead of StaticText for
    rendering the View Improves the text alignment and visual quality.
  * UnityShell: redraw the dash also if a non-blurred area is damaged If
    the dash is damaged, but not the blurred area, it won't redraw. We
    need to draw it, in order to avoid flickering of its border. Also,
    add the redraw_view_if_damaged utility function to redraw a view if
    really needed. (LP: #1224340)
  * AnimationUtils: add utility functions to handle nux::Animation's
    start and reversion Update the whole code using nux::animation to
    use these facility functions.
  * Launcher: fix style to use postfixed-underscore for private members
    Also remove some tabs and useless members.
  * ...

[ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * render the Dash frame all the way to the bottom of the screen (lp:
    #1100120). (LP: #1100120)

[ Lars Uebernickel ]
  * panel-service: fix order when paging through menus with left/right
    keys. (LP: #1183994)

[ Chris Townsend ]
  * Fixes issue where entering keynav mode may make the BFB icon scroll
    off the top of the Launcher. (LP: #1219636, #1068166)
  * The logic to detect when a Quicklist may be off the screen did not
    take into account the default top size of 4, so any Quicklists near
    the bottom would have blur that was shifted down 4 pixels. (LP:
    #819663)
  * Due to a change libdbusmenu, need to use a fully qualified name for
    the Dbus object name. (LP: #1223561)
  * Move the _compute_blur_bkg bool to the Tooltip::Draw() method since
    the CairoBaseWindow::Draw() method sets this to false causing
    subsequent draws to never update the background texture. (LP:
    #1052782)
  * Move the _compute_blur_bkg bool into the QuicklistView::Draw()
    method to actually get active blur to work. (LP: #873387)
  * Use the first two icons in the Launcher to assure the icons are
    always on the screen for this particular Autopilot test. (LP:
    #1219636)
  * Set the wait timeout to a longer period (1000ms) since many Jenkins
    CI tests are failing in the TestIconLoader tests. (LP: #1224643)
  * Make the mouse movement infinite while loop into a for loop and only
    iterate 10 times w/ a 0.5 second delay between movements. Raise an
    error if the correct icon is not found when the loop terminates.
    Consolidate the autoscroll_to_icon() function into the
    move_mouse_to_icon() function and change move_mouse_to_icon() to
    handle autoscrolling offsets. (LP: #1226639)
  * Increase the wait timeout to 15 seconds since 1 second didn't seem
    to make the unit test failure any better. Also add a timeout to the
    CheckResults method. (LP: #1224643)
  * When dragging and dropping an icon before another icon, the
    calculation to position the drop was off by half an icon which would
    cause some AP tests to fail. (LP: #1227056)
  * It appears that it's not a timeout causing these tests to really
    fail. It seems that Jenkins is unable to connect to GlibDBusProxy
    which leads to the timeout. For now, let's just remove the most
    troublesome tests so we can get automerging to work and then revisit
    the real reason why this is happening. (LP: #1224643)

[ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Fix randomly failing AP test. (LP: #1226116)
  * Return a copy of memeber variables of DndData class. Should fix
    lp:1224569. (LP: #1224569)
  * Derive EdgeBarrierController::Impl from sigc::trackable and remove
    the use of c++11 lambdas for callbacks. (LP: #1217560)

[ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * Automatic snapshot from revision 3524
