Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Focus stays on a program in previous workspace

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When switching from workspace that has at least one open program to an
  empty workspace, keyboard focus stays with the active program from
  previous workspace:

  1. Set the environment to use multiple workspaces (2x2 grid)
  2. Make sure that you have one workspace with one or more programs, i.e. gedit, terminal, whatever, and another one without any programs
  3. Switch to workspace with programs and make active one of the programs, i.e. terminal
  4. Switch to empty workspace, press enter or type anything on the keyboard
  5. Get back to the workspace with programs and you'll see that everything typed on the keyboard went to last active program

  I think that this shouldn't happend, focus shouldn't stay on a program
  from another workspace.

  This may be a serious if, for example, I had prepared some command in
  terminal, but I still didn't want to execute it before doing something
  else, or if I accidentaly pressed enter in a browser window and did
  something I didn't want (at least not yet).

  I'm not sure if this counts as security vulnerability, but if not,
  please remove that tag and sorry for labeling it that way.
