[Bug 1007976] Re: Windows jump to different workspace when switching workspace

 

** Description changed:

  This bug happens in Gnome Classic when the "Ubuntu Unity" plugin is
- disabled in Compiz. You must also have at least three
- workspaces/desktops horizontally in order to reproduce this.
+ disabled in Compiz and the Workspace Switcher applet is added to the
+ panel. You must also have at least three workspaces/desktops
+ horizontally in order to reproduce this.
  
  When a maximized window is on workspace #2 or higher (horizontally), and
  you move to a workspace on the right of the window, all maximized
  windows on the left of that workspace jump to the workspace on the far
  left (workspace #1).
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Choose "Gnome Classic" at the login screen and log in.
- 2) Use `ccsm' (CompizConfig Settings Manager) to disable the "Ubuntu Unity" plugin. Also make sure that "Horizontal Virtual Size" is set to at least 3 in "General Options". Optionally, enable the "Desktop Wall" plugin to easily switch between workspaces.
- 2) Say we have four workspaces horizontally (numbered 1 to 4). Place a maximized window on workspace #2 (doesn't matter which application, but it must be maximized).
- 3) Use Ctrl+Alt+arrow-key (or Expo) to move to a workspace on the right (workspace #3 or #4).
+ 2) Add the Workspace Switcher applet to the panel ([Super+]Alt+right-click on panel to add it).
+ 3) Use `ccsm' (CompizConfig Settings Manager) to disable the "Ubuntu Unity" plugin. Also make sure that "Horizontal Virtual Size" is set to at least 3 in "General Options". Optionally, enable the "Desktop Wall" plugin to easily switch between workspaces.
+ 4) Say we have four workspaces horizontally (numbered 1 to 4). Place a maximized window on workspace #2 (doesn't matter which application, but it must be maximized).
+ 5) Use Ctrl+Alt+arrow-key (or Expo) to move to a workspace on the right (workspace #3 or #4).
  
  Result: The window that was previously on workspace #2 is now on workspace #1.
  Expected result: The window should stay on workspace #2.
