Public bug reported:
$ dpkg-query -W gnome-shell
gnome-shell 3.36.0-2ubuntu1
$ lsb_release -rc
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
$ _
When I toggle in and out of the overview on an empty workspace, windows from
other workspaces appear. They are not interactable, so this seems more like a
rendering bug than the windows really being teleported to another workspace.
Switching back to another workspace that has windows causes the ghost windows
to disappear. Opening a window in the empty workspace makes it appear on top
of the ghost windows, and I have to switch to another workspace and back again
to make only the new window be visible.
I am using the vanilla "GNOME" session type. I did not observe this
behaviour with gnome-shell 3.35.91-1ubuntu2.
As well as the annoyance factor, of course there's a privacy angle to
showing random windows at surprising times.
** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- exiting overview causes windows from other workspaces to be visible
+ exiting overview on empty workspace causes windows from other workspaces to
be visible
