** Description changed:

  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 any maximizable window (of any application) to the bottom of the
  screen, so that its title-bar is still visible on the current workspace,
  but a fair portion overflows into 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.

Title:
  Maximize Window Bug - Using Workspaces

Status in Compiz:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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 any maximizable window (of any application) to the bottom of
  the screen, so that its title-bar is still visible on the current
  workspace, but a fair portion overflows into 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.
