Hi All.

I have a small problem:

1. I open workspace #1 and open (for-example, any application have the
same behavior) browser there. In the panel
in the bottom small window is appear. (See screenshot #1)
2. Then I switch to workspace #2 (using Hot Key) and open there some
applicatoins. (See screenshot #2)
3. Then I switch back to workspace #1 where ONLY browser was opened,
but here I see fashing window from workspace #2.
(See screenshot #3).

I'm using 2.18 sid Gnome edition. My panel has options "Never Group
Windows".

Does anybody know how to resolve such broblem and what does flashing
window mean?

Hi Idome,

The flashing window is usually a sign that the application needs your
attention (like a new message in your messenger window). It is not
really a bug, but a feature. If you were to click on the flashing
taskbar entry, it should take you to the workspace on which the
application actually resides.

On the other hand I have also seen applications that "like" to "annoy
me" by flashing for no-joy what so ever!! But I guess it must be a
programming over-sight :-) .. I can live with those for now.

later,
Rogue
