Public bug reported:

The code that gets initiated when a window is maximize is flawed in
regards to which workspace it targets for maximization.

When a window becomes maximized it should always maximize to the
workspace "where the mouse-cursor was at" at the time that the
maximization was initiated. Yet, in Unity, the windows manager will
maximize to a different workspace if a certain portion of that window is
outside the bounds of the current workspace.

To easily reproduce this undesired behavior:

1) Enable Workspaces:
System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Enable Workspaces

2) Drag the window to the bottom of the screen, so that its title-bar is
still visible on the current workspace, but a fair portion overflows to
the underneath-workspace.

3) Maximize the window.

Result: It will maximize the window to another workspace than the
workspace you were in at the time of the maximization.

Although this is a different bug, it would benefit greatly if the
Window-Maximization code was based on the workspace "where the mouse-
cursor was at" at the time of maximization.
