I don't think this is a duplicate. The other bug appears to be about
switching workspaces THEMSELVES, while this is moving WINDOWS between
them by dragging. Switching workspaces has never caused me any problems
by itself.
Sometimes when I (on the latest Ubuntu 15.10) drag windows across my
workspace switcher (especially when I drop and drag the window multiple
times), Unity freezes, and I can't do anything. However, closing my
laptop lid so it goes to sleep and then opening it does seem to fix this
- it goes to the lock screen, then returns to normal when I unlock it.
However, this is annoying.
This is really annoying because now, whenever I drag windows across
workspaces, I feel like I have to be careful to have it NOT freeze. If a
window ends part across two workspaces, I kinda feel like I have to go
to the right workspace and fix it there so it won't freeze, rather than
just doing it in the switcher.
Please, Canonical, get your act together - I have been becoming
increasingly displeased with Ubuntu. I shouldn't have to monkey around
with dconf just to remove the workspace switcher icon from my dock. I
always use hotcorners to switch workspaces, as I configured the bottom
left corner to activate the workspace switcher. While I understand
hotcorners not being in the settings by default (because LOL they are
buggy, and only seem to work one in every two reboots without disabling
them and re-enabling them - except for some reason, across two
computers, they magically seem to start working correctly after a
while), I know for a fact that some people never use the icon to switch
workspaces and instead use keyboard shortcuts.
