Thanks for getting in touch.

I'm using buttons 6 and 7, which on my mouse are on the sides of the
scroll wheel. This is without any keyboard modifiers.

Using keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing (ctrl+alt+left/right)
works as expected whether a window is focussed or not.

There's something odd I discovered today while testing things a bit
more: it works as expected when the window is minimised, but the problem
occurs again where the window is maximised or when it is minimised and
snapped to the top left corner. This is rather bizarre, and I wonder
whether it may have something to do with the way windows are handled in
14.04.

The problem also occurs when there are no active windows and the desktop
is not focussed, but since keyboard shortcuts also fail to work in this
situation, I suspect this is a different bug.

I have updated the bug description accordingly.

** Description changed:

  Running Ubuntu 14.04 and compiz 0.9.11.
  
  Upon upgrading to 14.04 I can no longer use mouse buttons to switch
  between desktops in the Desktop Wall when a window is focussed. It works
- as expected when using keyboard functions, or when no window is
+ as expected when using keyboard functions, or when the desktop is
  focussed.
