[Bug 1289820] [NEW] 'Move to Another Workspace' causes window to disappear

 

Public bug reported:

When using the 'Move to Another Workspace' right-click option on a
window, the window disappears from the current workspace, but is not
present in any other workspace.  It effectively is no longer accessible,
though it can still be killed.  Disabling workspaces does not cause the
lost window to reappear, but setting the number of desktops to 1 in CCSM
> General Options > Desktop Size > Number of Desktops does the trick and
the window reappears.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (latest updates as of 2014-03-07) and NVIDIA
proprietary drivers.  I do not experience this problem on Ubuntu 13.04.
