By default the focus chain uses the same order as the list returned
by clutter_actor_get_children(), which corresponds to the z-order.
This doesn't work well in the window picker, where clones follow
the stacking of windows to ensure a correct overview transition,
but previews are laid out purely based on space efficiency. As
a result, the order in which window previews are navigated when
tabbing around is essentially random. Fix this by providing a
focus chain implementation that is based on the visual layout
of the previews rather than the stacking.

Now that full-sized window previews are allowed again it makes sense to
align the window previews with the pixel grid to prevent unscaled
windows from looking blurry in the overview.
Currently the chrome layer decides itself which events on the window
clone should show or hide the chrome, which makes it harder to extent.
Instead, move the decision to the window clone by letting it emit
show/hide-chrome events when appropriate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Previews are currently limited to at most 70% of the actual window
size. This was done to indicate more clearly that the overview is
active and the window cannot be interacted with. However since then
other indications like the vignette effect have been added, so
artificially limiting the preview size doesn't look necessary anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Now that only one window title is visible at any time, it no longer
matters if a title extends into other window previews, so we can
always show the full title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
In case where a method- and property name overlap, using the method
is less unambiguous than I thought - mozjs52-based gjs will only see
the method, while mozjs38-based gjs will only see the property. We
are in luck though, and the real property name contains dashes that
allow us to refer to the property in a way that works for all gjs
versions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
ClutterActor has both a has_pointer() method and a :has-pointer
property (that we represent as 'has_pointer'). So far gjs was
able to deal with the name overlap, but now trying to use the
property will instead test for the availability of the method.
Just avoid the conflict by switching to the method, which is
unambiguous.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785084
While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit
value of 'undefined' has slipped in over time. The updated SpiderMonkey
version used by gjs now warns when accessing those properties, so we
should make sure that they are properly initialized to avoid log spam,
even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
There were some source IDs that were not being reset to zero when
removing the associated sources, resulting on some critical errors
being dumped when _realRecalculateWindowPositions() got called
after that point, via _delayedWindowRepositioning().
Dragging and dropping app icons is expected to work anywhere over a
workspace, however overlaid elements are added to a separate hierarchy
and can thus block valid drop targets. This wasn't much of an issue
while we had just the window title, but since the addition of the
focus border, drops on window previews stopped working entirely.
Fix this by hiding all non-reactive overlay elements from picks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737166
Using a MetaWindowActor's shaped texture as the source for window
clones means that if there are further MetaSurfaceActor children
(e.g. a wayland client using sub-surfaces) they don't get cloned.
This obviously wasn't an issue until wayland clients introduced the
possibility of having multiple MetaSurfaceActors under a
MetaWindowActor but there's no fundamental reason we can't clone the
toplevel actor.
WorkspaceThumbnail.WindowClone is the one class that was already using
the MetaWindowActor instead of the texture although it seems to have
been an unintended change in commit
8b99617513.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756715
draggable.startDrag() is called directly here (i.e. manualMode is not set),
we must keep track of the touch event and pass it to startDrag() then.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756748
The previous code was applying the per row scaling factor of the current
row to the cumulative sum of all previous rows when calculating the y
position of a row. This resulted in the row being shifted up so it would
overlap other windows when the previous rows were not using the same
scaling as the current one.
Also the previous code was not considering that the spacing does not get
scaled when calculating the scaling factor. This is wrong as well and
could result in the overview overlapping the workspace switcher in
situations with lots of windows open.
This fix gives each row the appropriate height according to its scaling
factor and then ensures that the grid remains vertically centered after
losing some of its height.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744883
Turns out this makes interaction with the OSK or candidate popups
using a mouse basically impossible since they get dismissed when the
key focus is captured by a window in the overview.
This reverts commit aeb9f5775f.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745245
It is quite weird to have those calls/signals using WindowClone as an
argument, it is neater to pass MetaWindows around, and have each user
deal with their own representations of these.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735972
And use it to lookup the local WindowClone that applies. Otherwise,
WorkspaceThumbnail.WindowClone objects may be mistakenly set, which
are not usable interchangeably with Workspace.WindowClone ones. This
may lead to several misbehaviors as fields available in the second
object but not in the first one are accessed, some those undefined
values get used in math ops, which result in NaNs over the place.
Likewise, the similar functions in WorkspacesViewBase subclasses take
now MetaWindow arguments too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735972
Since mutter commit 527c53a2a0582eba, MetaWorkspace::window-removed
is emitted *before* MetaWindow:workspace is updated, so the test
whether the removed window should still be on the workspace in
question will always return true.
Assume the test is no longer necessary nowadays to fix this very
obvious regression.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735608
Currently we are removing tweens of the button and border, but not from
the title. That causes the title to be in wrong positions sometimes when
dragging windows on the overview, given that the slider is moving and
therefore the windows + overlay are moving too.
To avoid that, remove tweens of the title as well.
The zooming animation of the windows looks nice when animating
from the workspace display page, but looks weird from other pages
like apps page or search page since the windows come from nowhere
with an initial position not known to the user.
Instead of that just fade the desktop with the windows in its
original position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732901
When returning to the desktop from overview we always show the
workspaceDisplay, given that is which have the windows clones to allow
animations.
The problem becomes when previous that we were at some other
page, like Search or AppDisplay. The problem is that when showing the
workspaceDisplay the windows are repositioned. That's wanted except
when returning from overview, since that causes unwanted animations
of the windows.
To avoid that just not reposition the windows if leaving the overview.
We already have the width and height information cached in JS,
let's avoid going through gjs-gobject-clutter to retrieve them
again. As a plus, with normal properties the optimizer should
be able to generate better code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729823
Windows in the overview should be like they appear in the workspace,
including modal dialogs that are attached above them.
In addition, hiding the dialogs in the overview causes a flash as
dialog appears at the end of the transition.
Based on a patch by Maxim Ermilov <zaspire@rambler.ru>

Simply use St's existing key navigation system by making all the window
clones StWidgets, and making the WorkspacesView a focus group.
Since the workspace view is effectively "fake", we need to add a focus
delegator so that when key focus is assigned to the fake workspaces page,
we can keynav inside it properly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644306
Because of the animation and collision with relayout, the title of windows in overview may not appear, mainly
the first time we enter in overview
With an animation delay of 0.1s, you'll not see the difference
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709392
We added special code to sort each row in the overview so that
windows were less likely to cross lines, but the awkward control
flow meant that everything but the last row got sorted.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707197
Commit 16fa186b63 attempted to fix the zoom animation problem
by throwing changes on the floor while the overview is animating. This has
the side effect that we might end up missing some positioning changes causes
windows to overlap the workspace thumbnails.
So revert those changes and fix it by simply by passing
WindowPositionFlags.ANIMATE during the overview animation.
This way the animation works as expected and we don't miss any position changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703105
Meta laters are invoked in reverse order of registration, so
having multiple laters propagating the geometry cause all but the
first one in the frame (which is usually wrong) to be ignored.
Instead, queue at most one later call, and use the last set geometry
in the callback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700853
If windows are removed or added, we shouldn't keep the old layout, as it's
not valid anymore. If windows are removed, this is especially bad, as the
rows contain references to the removed window objects, causing crashes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698622
Instead of applying an additional scale factor to all the rows in the
layout, only do it for those rows that don't fit.
This avoids the visual distraction of resizing a row when there's no
need to.
Instead of doing an entire recalculation of window positions when
sliding the thumbnails box, simply recalculate the position and scale
with basic aspect ratio math. This also ensures that windows won't
miraculously swap positions, even if we reposition windows while the
thumbnails box is expanded.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Split out the part that moves the window clones around from
the part that calculates the window clone positions, and rename
both methods so that the overall meaning is more clear.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Repositioning will eventually be separated from recalculation
to accomodate two different geometries, so we'll need to do
the padding and area manipulation in two different areas.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
As we want to eventually track two geometries, we need to rename
our very plain "_x, _y, _width, _height". While we could just prefix
them, I think that stuffing them in an object makes more sense.
At the same time, make the variable and method name more descriptive
by adding such a prefix, as well as a bit of documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
This was saved so that doing something which called relayout
but only changed the area rectangle would simply be needed to
recompute window scaling parameters. With the new overview
relayout, the flow control changed, it turns out that the
current layout is always cleared. Remove this for now, and we'll
put in a different strategy for this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
Windows can be restacked at any time, including when the stackAbove
property of the window clone is being dragged, and thus parented to
the uiGroup. To do stacking properly, we need to skip it for the duration
of the drag, and sync it again at the end (which is already done by
mutter because of the workspace change)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685285
This can happen if you open two or three terminal windows, and then
open the overview -- they're not centered. The issue is that because
of the WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE clamping, the scale that is being
laid out is different from the scale that the layout was calculated
for.
Implement and document a hack-ish solution which simply keeps the
scale for the layout as originally calculated, but centers the
windows inside the cell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
Multiplication is linear, so we can split this out as a separate
component. This will make it easier to think of it as an additional
per-window scaling factor, rather than tweaking the scale a bit,
which is more correct to the model.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694902
While we won't tear down the entire strategy infrastructure, we want to
rework some layout code in the future, so just tear this piece out for
now.

Using the scroll wheel to switch workspaces makes sense, but it is
currently only supported on the workspace switcher, as it conflicts
with window zooming in the picker.
As changing workspaces is far more useful than the zoom feature,
remove the latter in order to "free" the scroll wheel for workspace
switching.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686639
Right now we arrange the window thumbnails in a grid if there are more than two
rows of them. This was originally intended to reduce the amount of noise in the
thumbnail arrangement. It also made sense when the thumbnails were of a similar
size.
Nowadays we reflect the size of windows in the size of the thumbnail. This
leads to huge amounts of space between some windows when they are grid aligned.
Removing the grid alignment would also lead to larger thumbnails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694210
Making them not fully opaque just makes them harder to see and there is no reason why the user should care whether the window is minimized or not when
switching to a window display them like any other windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693991
If WindowOverlay.relayout() is called without animation, we must stop
any preexisting animation, otherwise it will continue to run with the
previous parameters and cause the overlay to end up in the wrong position.

The one we had before could make unmaximized windows appear to be bigger
than maximized ones, for a few reasons. Ensure that this doesn't happen
again, and add some comments to explain the whys and needs for twiddling
the individual thumbnail size.

We clamp the overall layout's scale to WINDOW_CLONE_MAXIMUM_SCALE, but since
we do a bit of tweaking to try and make super small windows a tad larger, it's
theoretically possible that windows may become larger than the proper maximum
scale. Fix this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686944
Add an style class targetting workspaces located outside the overview,
and use it for extra padding around the window clones. Padding is passed
