[Bug 1514065] [NEW] Windows move in workspaces after a window resize event

 

Public bug reported:

I run Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as a VirtualBox guest (both with VB 4.3.x and
5.x) using the default desktop. If I toggle the size of the screen
(using Host-Right-Ctrl) from maximised to not maximised and then back
again, the workspaces behave incorrectly. The same happens also if I
save and restore a VirtualBox session from disk.

Here is what goes wrong:

- Maximised windows move between Workspaces
- When activating the Workspaces viewer, maximised windows cannot be dragged to the Workspace they should be on
- Unmaximising and re-maximising a window fixes the problem for that window only

I have written a script to toggle the maximisation status of all
windows, which resolves the problem. I will add that, and system
information, once this report is submitted.

I have installed a brand new Ubuntu guest using the "ubuntu-14.04.2
-desktop-amd64.iso" image and cannot reproduce the problem. It is
perhaps the case that the problematic machine was installed using the
"ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso" image (I don't know if that would
matter).
