#241685 — how to avoid the terminal overlap

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,

Once upgraded to the new system, I found that they would gather the same
app in one tab.

Such as Xfce terminal all in one, I want them to be listed one by one, not
to be degenerated into one.

Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry for the description, I don't know
what is the best way to describe it.

Best regards, lina

Cheers, Jerome

I think the search terms you're looking for are
xfce disable grouping taskbar.

I don't know how to do it as I like it grouped (I might even
have deliberately chosen this way in the deep dark past if it didn't use
to be the default.)

Hi All,

I think Tim got my point correct. I have corrected the issue by following
the advice I googled:
*1 Answer*

   1. Right click on the taskbar, select Panel -> Panel Preferences.
   2. Select the Items tab , select Window Buttons in the list, click the
   Edit button on the right side.
   3. Change Window grouping to Never.

Thanks again with best regards, lina

Thank you for coming back to say it worked. I saw this thread
yesterday and thought I understood you wanted to change same thing I
did. I found those same instructions but missed that "minor detail"
about clicking on "Window Buttons". Just tried it again, and mine's
now fixed, too.

Feels like old times on this desktop.. Very happy! I don't know why
it's easier for my brain to pick what it needs from that mess of
buttons strewn across the top, but it is (much easier). The "never
group" option has the added bonus of being a constant nag that browser
windows need archived and closed, permanently if not sooner. :)

First, let's see if I follow you. You are running XFCE. When you want
to see multiple terminal programs, you get one XFCE term window with
multiple tabs, and a shell in each one. What you would like is multiple
windows, each with one tab.

Once you have launched the first window, with one tab in it, try
launching new terminals with CTL-SHIFT-N. That will get you multiple
windows, each with one tab.

Similarly with other programs. In Vivaldi (a web browser), a new tab is
CTL-T, and a new window is CTL-W. There is a setting in Vivaldi for
whether Mouse button 3 (right click for the right handed) produces a
new tab or a new window. I expect other browsers have similar
provisions.

If you mean the buttons on the panel (with names corresponding to 
windows), try Application Menu -> Settings -> Panel -> Items -> Window 
Buttons -> Edit -> Behaviour -> Windows Grouping -> Never.
