[Bug 1026553] Re: Double clicking Workspace Switcher too fast switches workspaces and moves windows unpredictably

 

This is bug-ish behavior within Expo itself. It can be reproduced
without ever clicking the workspace launcher. You can click anywhere on
the screen immediately after Super+s and Expo will switch straight back
to the workspace nearest to the click, sometimes dragging windows along
with it unpredictably.

A slight improvement that might be achievable is if the Workspace
Launcher can "block" Expo from receiving clicks. But the bug still lies
with Expo willing to process clicks during unpredictable animation.

Title:
  Double clicking Workspace Switcher too fast switches workspaces and
  moves windows unpredictably

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you click the workspace switcher twice you get back to the
  workspace you were on. However, when on a right side workspace (TR or
  BR in the default configuration), double clicking the switcher fast
  causes different behavior. The screen focuses on a left side workspace
  instead, and the active window may change and/or move around.

  To reproduce:

  1. Open a window on TL workspace.
  2. Move to TR workspace.
  3. Open another window there.
  4. Double click the workspace switcher in launcher
