Title:
  Window management - Switching to windows placed on two work spaces
  causes the workspace to switch

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in Compiz 0.9.10 series:
  Won't Fix
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1) Open any application or window on a workspace and move it more than 50% outside the screen's edge so that the remaining part resides on another adjacent workspace
  2) Now try to switch to that application or window using alt-tab or window spread the application is brought to focus but the workspace now switches to that adjacent workspace mention in (1) . This workspace switch is not desired.

  I have attached a video which demonstrates the problem.

  I have narrowed this bug down to the "desktop wall" plugin. If I
  switch to "desktop cube" plugin using CCSM then the workspaces do not
  switch while switch to windows/applications which are placed as
  described in (1)

  I am running Ubuntu 12.10 with latest updates. Quantal proposed
  sources are enabled but the bug is present even in compiz from default
  quantal sources.

  Compiz version : 1:0.9.8.6-0ubuntu1

  If any other information is needed I will try to provide it as soon as
  I can. Thanks.

  -----------------------------
  Desired solution:

  - Do not switch viewport when selecting the window that is more than
  50% in another viewport.

  - Leave the window in its current position and focus it.
