Hello,

It seems that when I click on "group of windows" icon it triggers the Workspace selection. This started happening after a recent upgrade as I'm pretty sure I used to click it this way all the time to bring all windows of the group to the front.

Running cario-dock 3.3.2 with OpenGL. On Linux Mint 14 32-bit Cinnamon.

This is what I mean by "group of windows icon:

And this is the Workspace selection:

I removed the ~/.config/cairo-dock directory to start with a fresh profile and same happens. This is the second thing I noticed different since the last upgrade. I recently created another post here for the other issue.

Thanks!

Looks like the images didn't work. Here's another try.

yes, clicking on an icon that holds the windows of a given appli will display all the windows (Exposé), that's a new feature for Cinnamon

But this didn't use to happen. And I haven't updated Cinnamon in a long time.

It's a new feature of Cairo-Dock. It happens if subdock opens when the mouse is over (or if the subdock is already opened) and if the corresponding option is enabled (advanced mode of the config panel / Taskbar / Interaction / Present windows preview on click when several windows are grouped together)

That's exactly it! I disabled that option and now it's back to how it used to be. I click it and it brings all corresponding windows to the front.

The idea of this new feature is great, but the fact that it dies an exposé of ALL windows is anoying. It would be great if it would only do an exposé of the grouped windows.

Oh yes, you're right, it should only list these grouped windows. (it's what we have when using Compiz)

@fabounet: is it possible to do that with Cinnamon?

well, it's supposed to do an exposé of the grouped windows of course
there is maybe a bug in our code (what's your version of Cinnamon ? does the problem occur with any application ?)
