[Bug 1038785] Re: Inconsistent behaviour calling windows focus on another workspace

 

I'm going to bring this to the Ninja team, to anyone who wants to help
me troubleshoot this.

I bet the problem is related to Compiz's grid plugin. Seems to me that
when you right-snap a window, the size of the window exceeds the size of
the desktop by one or two pixels.  Thats enough to wrap contents to
another workspace and trick Unity to think the window is misplaced.

Title:
  Inconsistent behaviour calling windows focus on another workspace

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  New
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS;
  Unity: 5.16.0
  Compiz: 0.9.7.8;

  Ubuntu 12.10
  Unity 6.8.0
  Compiz 0.9.8.4

  What I expect:
  Clicking on an open App on the launcher, app gains focus. If the app is on another workspace, Unity switches workspaces.

  What I get:
  The app gains focus, but the window is moved to the current workspace, sometimes on an off-screen position.

  To reproduce:
  - Switch to a second workspace.
  - Open Empathy.
  - Super+ctrl+arrow to put the window to the right
  - Switch to the first workspace
  - Click on the Empathy icon
  The app window is moved offscreen or nothing happens (because Compiz thinks the app is in the current workspace).

  Please note than when you Super+ctrl+arrow an application, part of the
  window (sometimes just a pixel) is placed offscreen, this seems enough
  to compiz to think the app is on another workspace.
