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

 

Yes, it is still an issue and happens every time. I have been dealing
with it since I first installed 14.04 back in early January 2014.

It happens whether I use System Settings > Appearance > Behavior >
Enable workspaces, or manually configure workspaces using CCSM > General
Options > Desktop Size (which I normally do since I prefer a flat
horizontal workspace to avoid windows crossing workspaces).

I should mention that the window disappears even if I send it to the
workspace it is already on.

I could not reproduce this issue in a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 in
VirtualBox, so it may be specific to my GPU drivers or compiz config.

Title:
  'Move to Another Workspace' causes window to disappear

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
