When a lot of windows are open, you click the icon of the program that you want and a preview of all the windows of this program appear. Then, I will love to have the option to close the windows in this preview, like KDE or Windows.

When the Update Manager is updating the programs, these programs should not be open at the same time.

Here's an example of what I've witnessed: if Chromium is open at the same time that Flash Player is being updated, the user visits a website with Flash content and the site says Flash is not installed. But when Chromium is closed and opened again after the update, Flash Player works again.

I think that the setting on closing the lid of a laptop should be changed from "suspend" to "do nothing" or inhibit system suspend completely while installation or partitioning tasks are taking place. It makes no sense to keep this setting as "suspend" when this could interrupt the install or disk partitioning tasks.

This happens in ubiquity by both choosing "install ubuntu" right after booting the installation CD or after choosing "try ubuntu" and then "install ubuntu". It also affects you if you only use "gparted" after choosing "try ubuntu" but before choosing "install ubuntu".

There is not even a warning to not close the lid of a laptop before installing the same way there are warnings to connect to a power source. Completely inhibiting system suspend while installation or other critical tasks are taking place is IMHO expected behaviour when booting into any operating system's installation media (Windows and OS X install DVDs work this way). Not to mention it is the "user friendly" thing to do because it prevents accidental critical data loss.

This happened to me while the partitioning tasks where taking place. My window's partition NTFS got corrupted, and therefore the partition became unusable.

Please take note that I'm not asking to change the default system setting from the start when you boot in live-cd after you install. Only when install or partitioning tasks are taking place.

Also I hope this is not marked as invalid since I already posted it on the Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list ( https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2012-March/thread.html ). In which understandably I was told to submit it as a bug against ubiquity ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/948163 ), where in turn I was told to post it as an idea here (I feel like I'm doing some kind of bureaucratic paperwork hahaha).

The problem is that in Ubuntu, when you move your cursor into the top left corner and click, the maximized window does not close. Instead, you must click directly on the button. This can decrease productivity.

You can already open a folder in Nautilus by middle-clicking the folder, and can close the tab using CTRL+W/right click the tab, choose close.

It seems fairly reasonable to me to introduce a Firefox-style "close tab with middle mouse button", especially as the code for handling opening new tabs with that mouse button and the code for closing tabs are already in place.

Closing a Nautilus window with multiple tabs is dangerously easy. I am able to open several tabs in a single window. The problem is, most of the time, I accidentally close the window--closing alongside it my multiple tabs. This situation is very frustrating, considering my fondness of using Alt+F4 to close windows.

The new notification system in ubuntu 9.04 should implement an option to include a close button so that we can close the notifications once we have read them. We won't have to wait till it disappears.

For example, while editing photos, if a notification pops up it'd obstruct the view even though its semi-transparent and click-transparent.

Besides having it as an option but not as default wouldn't really hurt.

I am used to many tools (also on Windows) that can handle easy closing of tabs. The best solution I like is Firefox way, of pressing middle mouse button to close tab. It is very handy if you can just click on tab instead of pointing to very small close "x" icon and clicked on it.

There should be a "Close after all Installations ended"-Button in the Software center. When you click the button, after install all packages, the software center will close.

I love the ability to show my open windows in Unity with Super + W buttons, but in my observation, it really misses the ability to quickly close window.

Right now to close multiple windows, we have to separately open each window and close it if needed.
