Then I'll open one, but basically, yes: Unity can, and does, put things
on other workspaces under certain circumstances, and to make matters
worse, I'm not sure those circumstances are uncommon.

The one I'm most intimately familiar with right now: laptop that I use
in a dual-screen configuration at work, but a single-screen
configuration at home.  I place Empathy and its chat windows on the
external monitor's screen at work (to the right, physically).  At home,
when I launch Empathy, nothing shows up anywhere - because the Empathy
window has been automatically placed on the  *workspace* to the right.

(Note: I never use workspaces proper, and this is not a problem that
occurs when I lower the number of available workspaces to 1.)

> "Hum, so it's working with unity 5.10, do you downgrade compiz as

it should be reassigned"

...it should definitely be reassigned, then.  I can keep current Compiz
and downgrade unity to 5.10, and that does work as the other poster
says.  (I'm not *going* to do that, because the bugfixes and
advancements in 5.12 outweigh this defect, but still).
