Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
I don't know if it is called desktop wall or Expo, but I am using the
default in Unity, so that when I click the blue launcher with four
quadrants, I am shown my multiple workspaces, in a 2x2 grid.
Given the above, if I have a program window in Workspace 2, and I am in
another Workspace, when I click the program's launcher, the behavior is
to "pan" over to the workspace that contains the program for which I
just clicked the launcher. This works well under most circumstances.
It fails when the program I am trying to get to has been "window
snapped" to the left or right side of the screen. (I think it is called
window snapping when you drag a window to the left or right edge of the
screen and it resizes to occupy half of the screen, on the left or
right, respective to which edge you snapped)....
To net it out...
If you have a left or right "snapped" window in a workspace other than your
current workspace, and you click that program's launcher, expecting it to "pan"
to the right workspace, it will not do this. The launcher's icon gets the
triangle on the right (signifying that it is now the "current" application) but
it does NOT switch workspaces.
