** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Windows get forcefully moved fully to the current workspace when they
+ are partially overlapping the workspace and then alt-tabbed to.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
  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.
  
  TESTCASE 2:
  1. Move a window to the far left workspace so that it overlaps the left side of the screen a little.
  2. Switch to the far right 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.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Wall plugin / overlapping window behavior on multiple workspaces in
+ general.

  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
  
  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
  
  Screenshoted instructions:
  
  1) Put an application window hard against the side of your workspace without maximizing it
      Bottom right workspace: http://rc.id.au/f/images/1-window-move-bug.png
      (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
      Top right workspace after clicking on XChat and Gwibber launcher icons: http://rc.id.au/f/images/4-window-move-bug.png
  
  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.
