** Description changed: The code that gets initiated when a window is maximize is flawed in regards to which workspace it targets for maximization. When a window becomes maximized it should always maximize to the workspace "where the mouse-cursor was at" at the time that the maximization was initiated. Yet, in Unity, the windows manager will maximize to a different workspace if a certain portion of that window is outside the bounds of the current workspace. To easily reproduce this undesired behavior: 1) Enable Workspaces: System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Enable Workspaces 2) Drag any maximizable window (of any application) to the bottom of the screen, so that its title-bar is still visible on the current workspace, but a fair portion overflows into the underneath-workspace. 3) Maximize the window. Result: It will maximize the window to another workspace than the workspace you were in at the time of the maximization.
