Public bug reported:


To reproduce this bug you must enable workspaces:
System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Enable Workspaces.

Now, I'm assuming you have firefox open in this current workspace (from
where you are reading this message). It doesn't matter if it is chrome,
but later we will switch back to this web browser.

Hit ctrl-alt-downArrow to switch to another workspace.

Launch Gimp (for example) into this new workspace
SuperKey > type "gimp"  (no quotes) and hit the enter key.

Now, make sure that gimp's window is not maximized, and then move the
window so that any part of is clipped by the workspace, meaning, drag
the window down so that the bottom 10 pixels of the window are not
viewable on the workspace.

Now, on the launcher bar, click on an icon that is open in another
workspace (firefox or chromium for example). Then try to go back to gimp
by clicking on its launcher icon.

For me, unless the workspace encapsulates the gimp window 100%, I am not
able to switch back to gimp by clicking its launcher icon.

I was using Gimp as an example, but the same is true for any other
application whose window is not completely encapsulated by the workspace
that it primarily resides.
