Public bug reported:

This issue occurs when any application window has been snapped in any
position of the screen, in the background, and a fullscreen application
is in the foreground. When going into Expo zoom-out mode, to see all 4
desktops, and you try and drag the fullscreen application to another
desktop. The screen will perform a really ugly flicker screen corrupt,
and drag any and all SNAPPED windows below the fullscreen app with it to
the other desktop. You can clearly see this happening while the flicker
takes place and the original desktop is left blank.

BUT if you were to instead double click the  original, now blank,
desktop to return to it, you will find the snapped windows are in fact
left behind and the fullscreen app has been moved. BUT if you instead
dbl click on the new desktop, where you have moved the fullscreen app
to, you will find that the snapped apps did in fact move with it.

This happens when the window has been snapped using the mouse to drag or
using the shortcut keys ctrl-alt-1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9. It occurs in both
64bit and 32bit versions. This also happens with any application, not
just terminal.

I have tested this issue on my current main Dell XPS laptop, installed
with 64bit 12.04 (nouveau driver) and this occurs in a Virtual machine
running in virtualbox with software 3d rendering.

So the issue is not related to platform or graphics driver. It's easily
reproduceable. Note this issue ONLY occurs with snapped windows, does
not happen with windows that are not snapped.

Please see my atattached video of this issue in 32bit virtual machine
