[Bug 1082001] Re: Grid/Expo: Via keyboard-shortcut resized Grid windows confuse Expo and follow the user from workspace to workspace

 

** Description changed:

  [Test Case]
  
  1. Open a window
- 2. Hit "Ctrl+Alt+Numpad3" to resize it via Grid (for example Firefox)
+ 2. Hit "Ctrl+Alt+Numpad3" to resize it via Grid (for example Firefox) into a corner.
+    Alternatively you can drag the window to a corner to grid-resize it.
  3. Open any other window (for example a terminal)
  4. Trigger Expo (via Launcher's Workspace Switcher icon or by hitting "Super+S" for example)
  5. Now drag the "non-gridded" second window (terminal in our case here) to another workspace/viewport
  
  What you would expect to happen:
  
  The terminal window should now be on the new viewport. The other window
  should not change position.
  
  What actually happens:
  
  No matter on which workspace the terminal window is dragged to, the *gridded* window follows.
  Wait, it gets even better:
  If you try to switch the workspace without dragging a window, the *gridded* window will follow you, whereever you go.
  If you resize multiple windows via Grid all will follow you from workspace to workspace.

- Note 1: I have tested this in a virtual machine with a vanilla default up-to-date installation of Raring also, to make sure non-default settings are not causing this problem.

  Note 2: This bug makes using Grid in combination with Expo (which are
  both enabled by default on Ubuntu) completely unusable and should have
  high priority.
  
- Note 3: You have to resize the windows via keyboard-grid to trigger this
- bug, mouse-resized *gridded* windows seem to be unaffected.
+ Note 3: Just corner-gridded windows seem to be affected.

** Summary changed:

- Grid/Expo: Via keyboard-shortcut resized Grid windows confuse Expo and follow the user from workspace to workspace
+ Grid/Expo: Corner-resized Grid windows confuse Expo and follow the user from workspace to workspace
