It turns out in this bug report, that CUPS in Disco doesn’t depend on ImageMagick anymore and thus can be safely purged for good now.
That was an excellent change for most users.
Those that want to bury their windows in the same position can likely find a setting somewhere, someplace…
There is a new separate thread to discuss this topic: https://community.ubuntu.com/t/center-windows-by-default/10262/4
It is not too important to me because it is easy to change that back in GNOME-tweaks (“windows” section). I think that this is what you are hinting at.
Well, that is true-sometimes, the dock can get stuck on the fact that there is a window when there isn’t.
But with the dock, all you need is pretty much a major Gnome Shell update, and your dead, but Ubuntu Dock is an extension, and so is Dash to Panel.
It’s a good thing to consider using dash-to-panel.
Edit: The recent updates fixed my WLAN connectivity. It was broken after one package update today.
EDIT2: I finally figured out the culprit of the broken Firefox Wayland support. Of course it was my fault, I have left Webrender turned on although my graphics chip was still blocked for Webrender and didn’t work. Just having this setting toggled prevented Wayland to work properly.

I have a broken user interface in 19.04 release someone help
Packet Tracer still uses libpng12, which isn’t available on Bionic and later. It won’t run without it. The one in Xenial’s repos is outdated (1.2.54), while the latest version in Sourceforge is 1.2.59.
One thing I miss in Ubuntu is that login/lockscreen powered by #lightdm please create a better one or bring it back as default… I have no issues with gnome Its dope… but lets recreate a better ubuntu gnome lockscreen… we created the software store they followed suite lets do it for the lock screen… Am just an Ubuntu user
I believe we came to linux because it was unique dash2panel is windows style I say we retain ubuntu as it is
Annoying 3.32 bugs/Regressions
I hope that the following bugs will be fixed upstream or distropatched:
*The neverending spinner: The mouse pointer shows the spinning animation when starting an app even if the app is already fully loaded. You can stop the animation manually by dragging the window with your mouse: This is fixed already upstream for Mutter 3.32.1 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/498
*Blurry background picture: @vanvugt proposed a fix today upstream in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/505 EDIT And he got it merged one day later. So like the spinner issue, this will be fixed automatically once 3.32.1 is synced in Ubuntu.
*Some windows are not focused after launching (Xorg session only) (e. g. Terminal) → https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/505 Sadly that doesn’t seem to be investigated at all yet.
With those 3 bugs fixed Ubuntu would be in a great state.
Other than the GIMP not starting up for me
gimp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgimpcolor-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gegl_buffer_iterator2_new
(the snap works, so no big deal), I don’t have any issues and enjoy the much “snappier” desktop.

Wish Kvantum’s in the repos…

The Blurry background patch was merged today and will come to Ubuntu with 3.32.1.
The windows not focused bug doesn’t have much traction because some think it is a GTK regression.
This is NOT a problem in the Wayland session, just with Xorg.

It’s Ubuntu beta time. The release is out there in the wild.
On the bug front @vanvugt is going to hunt down the input focus issue according to this Trello card: https://trello.com/c/CwhfHxB2/293-bug1817924-apps-launched-from-gnome-shell-do-not-get-input-focus

It looks like the Xorg throttling problem has not been taken care of yet. All of a sudden the cursor gets stuck, and only hard shut down and restart helps. This might happen any time. Strangely, in the same laptop in Windows 10 it never got stuck in continuous running for more than 18 hours. Hope, this matter would be looked into before the final release.
Is there an Ubuntu bug or an upstream bug for it? Without a proper bug report it won’t be looked at.

@chanath, if you are experiencing a bug then this is the wrong site to discuss it on. Please report that bug by running:
ubuntu-bug xorg-server
Sure, I can. Only, if it still works.
Once the system gets stuck, no way to get the terminal going.
@vanvugt has fixed the input focus bug and it landed upstream. So Ubuntu will be in a good shope once 3.32.1 will land: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/518

Two days to go for the final release!
All three of my pet bugs above are fixed. Most GNOME apps are on version 3.32.1, just Mutter and Gnome-Shell are on a snapshot of April 10th (because no official 3.32.1 is tagged yet?). Gstreamer is on a RC version, Mesa on 19.0.2.
It looks good, thanks to all involved for their efforts
