+ TESTCASE 1:
+ 1. Move a window to the far right workspace so that it overlaps the right side of the screen a little.
+ 2. Switch to the far left workspace where you can see a little of the overlapping window.
+ 3. Alt-Tab to the window.
+ 
+ Observed: Window jumps to being entirely on the far left workspace.
+ Expected: Window stays where it was.

+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  Binary package hint: unity
  
  The bug works as follows:
  
  1. Put a non-maximized window against the border of your workspace
  
  2. Switch to the adjoining workspace
  
  3. Select the window in Unity
  
  Expected Behavior
  
-    You are switched back to the workspace with the window
+    You are switched back to the workspace with the window
  
  What actually happens
  
-    You stay in the current workspace AND the window is shifted slightly into the current workspace
-    Making it impossible to use without manually switching to the workspace and dragging the window back to where it was
- 
+    You stay in the current workspace AND the window is shifted slightly into the current workspace
+    Making it impossible to use without manually switching to the workspace and dragging the window back to where it was
  
  Screenshoted instructions:
  
  1) Put an application window hard against the side of your workspace without maximizing it

      (All workspaces: http://rc.id.au/f/images/2-window-move-bug.png)
  
  2) Go to a different workspace which shares an edge with your application
      Top right workspace: http://rc.id.au/f/images/3-window-move-bug.png
  
  3) Click on the application within the launcher, and the application will jump a little way into the next workspace

  To show this more, I reset the windows to their original locations from
  #1, went into the bottom left workspace and clicked on Gwibber again:

  I hope that makes sense and explains the bug.
