I can confirm this issue, but on a regular desktop installation of 14.04.4, not a virtualised instance.

If I toggle the size of the screen (using Host-Right-Ctrl-F) from maximised to not maximised and then back again, the workspaces behave incorrectly. The same happens also if I save and restore a VirtualBox session from disk. Here is what goes wrong: - Maximised windows move between Workspaces - When activating the Workspaces viewer, maximised windows cannot be dragged to the Workspace they should be on - they appear to drag, and then "snap back" to their present (wrong) location - Unmaximising and re-maximising a window fixes the problem for that window only I have written a script to toggle the maximisation status of all windows, which resolves the problem. It is probably of note that this bug only affects maximised windows - if a window is not maximised then it remains on the correct workspace, and can be moved to any other without my 'reset' hack. I don't think the Workspace grid size makes any difference - I've had this happen with 3x2 and 3x3 arrangements. I have installed a brand new Ubuntu guest using the "ubuntu-14.04.2 -desktop-amd64.iso" image and cannot reproduce the problem. It is perhaps the case that the problematic machine was installed using the "ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso" image (I don't know if that would matter).
