We've moved to only have expose for applications when you right-click on them (the ubuntu button bringing up places instead). Could you please check if this problem still occurs when you right-click on a running application, and then click another one?

When in overlay-mode (clicked the top-left ubuntu-button) right-clicking does NOT focus that running app.

When not in overlay-mode, right-clicking a running app enters expose-mode for that app only. Then right-clicking another app (running or not) just exits this single-app-expose mode.

Which behaviour is now meant to be implemented?

Right-clicking never causes the application to focus, regardless of whether the Dash is open. Right-clicking also never scales windows.

Right-clicking always shows the application's QuickList and nothing more -- no windows are scaled, and focus does not change.
