Title:
  Workplace switcher allows windows to be placed behind the top bar

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.04

  When dragging windows around in workplace switcher, the top bar is not
  visible in any of the four squares. Because of this, windows can be
  dragged around so that their titlebars are where the top bar usually
  is on the desktop (top bar being the one with the ubuntu button and
  the power menu etc). This has the consequence that, once the user
  comes out of workplace switcher mode, they cannot access the window
  controls nor move it by dragging, as the window's title bar is hidden
  behind the desktop top bar. Obviously you can hold down ALT or just go
  back into workplace switcher to move the window back into the middle
  of the desktop, but it still makes the system look less polished and
  professional when this sort of thing can happen - as usually it is
  impossible to drag a window further up than the top bar allows.
