[Bug 1344102] [NEW] Odd behavior with workspaces - Firefox gets moved to other monitors when it shouldn't.

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

This one seems easy to duplicate. In a dual screen setup, do the
following. Place an instant message (Pidgin, etc) on monitor 1,
workspace 3. Place Firefox on monitor 2, workspace 1. Have the user in
the message send you a link. When you click the link, it opens in
Firefox in workspace 1 as expected, but Firefox is moved from monitor 2
to monitor 1.

This type of behavior should not take place as windows in other
workspaces should not be shuffled around. Users place certain windows in
certain workspaces for a multitude of reasons. While workspaces are
great to have, behavior like this tends to be a bit of a buzzkill when
users must place everything back to where it should have been in the
first place.
