Thank you for reporting bugs and helping to make Ubuntu better. The best would be to have one issue per launchpad bug, for easier tracking, to be able to see which one has been fixed, and which one has not been fixed. So let's keep this bug for the issue you have reported in the description, about not switching to the correct workspace in case of snapped windows on other workspaces.
Could you please report another bug about not panning to the workspace of the browser? Thanks. Regarding the issue reported first, I have managed to reproduce and I am updating the description to contain the exact steps to reproduce. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad ** Description changed: 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. + Working in a default, 2x2 workspaces setup, workspaces are numbered: + 1 2 + 3 4 - 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. + Steps to reproduce: + 1) Open a window (tried with nautilus and thunderbird) on a workspace, and snap it to the side of the screen on which the workspace can be found in the desktop wall (that would be left edge for windows on workspaces 1 and 3, right edge for 2 and 4) + 2) Switch to the workspace horizontally neighbouring the current workspace (to the left or to the right) and open/focus a window there + 3) Click the icon of the window snapped from the launcher - 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).... + Expected result: + The workspace containing the app should be shown with the app you have selected - 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. + What happens instead: + The workspace is not switched, the window seems to be focused, as the triangle appears near its icon, and the shadow on one side of the workspace gets bigger. + + I assume that the shadow is handled as part of the window, that is why + unity thinks that the window is visible on the current workspace, but + that's an assumption, I'll leave it to the devs to investigate further.
