On Ubuntu 16.04 with Workspaces Enabled I am having a problem with the fact that applications / application switches should be friendly if some windows are in full screen mode.
Let's say I have two workspaces A and B. A two windows open: a browser and terminal 1 in full screen mode. B one window opens: another terminal 2 in full screen mode.
I leave workspace A with an active browser window and move to workspace B to work in terminal 2. Then I return to A, but end up in a state where (1) there is no specific window, (2) terminal 1 is in the foreground, not in the browser.
Then I need to either Alt-Tab to activate terminal 1, or click on it, and Alt-Tab to return to the browser.
This is not like an application switcher property. I have not tried using the default plugin, “application switches” and “static application switch”.
The problem does not occur if the applications are not in full screen mode --- if they are in the maximized state, everything is in order.
