** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS;
- Compiz: 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4;
- Empathy: 3.4.2.3-0ubuntu1
+ Unity: 5.16.0
+ Compiz: 0.9.7.8;
  
- Clicking on an open App on the launcher, focus should be gained on the
- app, and if the app is on another workspace, workspace should switch
- accordingly.
+ Ubuntu 12.10
+ Unity 6.8.0
+ Compiz 0.9.8.4
  
- What happens instead is that, at random, the app window is moved to the
- current workspace, or another, at random positions, sometimes off-screen
- (check screenshot).
+ What I expect:
+ Clicking on an open App on the launcher, app gains focus. If the app is on another workspace, Unity switches workspaces.
  
- I can reproduce it this way:
+ What I get:
+ The app gains focus, but the window is moved to the current workspace, sometimes on an off-screen position.
+ 
+ To reproduce:
  - Switch to a second workspace.
  - Open Empathy.
  - Super+ctrl+arrow to put the window to the right
  - Switch to the first workspace
  - Click on the Empathy icon
- - Repeat if works ok.
+ The app window is moved offscreen or nothing happens (because Compiz thinks the app is in the current workspace).
  
- I guess the problem is related to the way Compiz's Grid plugin resizes
- the Empathy window; the workspace seems to lose track of its position.
- 
- Tell me if you need something more.
- Thanks!
+ Please note than when you Super+ctrl+arrow an application, part of the
+ window (sometimes just a pixel) is placed offscreen, this seems enough
+ to compiz to think the app is on another workspace.
