Multi-User Window Swapping and Minimizing Leads to Conflicting State |
|||
Issue descriptionI somehow suspect that this is not limited to Minnies, but anyways. Version 55.0.2883.42 beta Platform 8872.44.0 (Official Build) beta-channel veyron_minnie ARC Version 3448313 Firmware Google_Veyron_Minnie.6588.197.0 (0) Reboot, log in to the Chromebook as the corp user; (1) Sign-in the other account (@gmail.com); (2) Open a browser window, from the title-bar "Move window to Me (me@google.com)"; (3) As the corp user, Alt-'-' to minimize each window, including the one moved from the other account; (4) "Switch Window" (F5) key to see all the windows minimized in the previous step are still there; (5) ESC out of (4). Ctrl-Alt-. to switch to the other account; At this point, the window moved in step (2) to corp user is shown, not minimized, to the other account. Even more confusingly, the user-icon that usually appears only for a window that is moved across users at the left-top corner is still there in this window. Switching back to the corp user with Alt-Ctrl-. and hitting "Switch Window" (F5) tells me that the moved window is no longer there.

(original reporter here). This is not limited to Minnies. Version 54.0.2840.93 (64-bit) Platform 8743.83.0 (Official Build) stable-channel swanky Firmware Google_Swanky.5216.238.5 A shorter reproduction is to bring a window from secondary to primary, minimize it (other windows do not matter, even though step (3) in the original report made it sound as if they do), and then Alt-Ctl-. to switch back to the secondary. The window moved previously now appears un-minimized in the secondary account.

Back when multiprofile was created there was a conscious decision to NOT fix the edge cases caused by teleporting windows. The architectural changes required to make these windows behave properly were deemed too complex/risky/costly to justify the benefits. |
