Title:
'Move to Another Workspace' causes window to disappear
Status in Compiz:

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
[Impact]
If users set the wrong setting in Compiz Config Settings Manager
(CCSM), it is possible for a users window to disappear when using
"Move to Workspace X" when right clicking on a windows decoration.
This can make seem like the user has lost their window and force the
user to potentially loose any unsaved works if they can't figure out
how to recover the window.
[Test Case]
To reproduce:
* Open CCSM by either typing "ccsm" in the command line or finding it in the
Dash.
* Go to General Options->Desktop Size.
* Enter some number > 1 for "Number of Desktops".
* Right click on the decoration of a window and select "Move to Workspace
Right".
* Watch the window disappear with no trace.
After applying this fix:
* The "Number of Desktops" option should be gone.
[Regression Potential]
For Ubuntu running Unity, none identified.
Very small chance that some other desktop environment may use this setting,
but none of the major desktop environments use it.
Original description:
When using the 'Move to Another Workspace' right-click option on a
window, the window disappears from the current workspace, but is not
present in any other workspace. It effectively is no longer
accessible, though it can still be killed. Disabling workspaces does
not cause the lost window to reappear, but setting the number of
desktops to 1 in CCSM > General Options > Desktop Size > Number of
Desktops does the trick and the window reappears.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (latest updates as of 2014-03-07) and NVIDIA
proprietary drivers. I do not experience this problem on Ubuntu
13.04.
