[Bug 856684] [NEW] Workspace switcher occasionally causes windows to shift one workspace rightward when switching workspaces rapidly

 

Public bug reported:

I have a very high key repeat rate set. This might have a lot to do with
this bug.

When I hold down CTRL+ALT and then hold down Left/Right arrow keys to
very quickly slide through all the workspaces (I currently have 5x2
workspaces), every fifth time or so all the workspaces will shift
rightward.  So all my windows that were on workspace 1 are now on
workspace 2 and so on. (This happens to each row of workspaces.)

I'm running:
* Ubuntu 11.04.
* gnome-panel:
     Installed: 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.5

I don't expect my windows to all changes workspaces on their own. Is
there a race condition causing this maybe?

This also happened to me on Lucid and Maverick. Couldn't find any other
reports of this bug.
