@Bruno: please don't confuse things and don't use that bug to complain about every other issue you might get with compiz

I'm using the current version, I've nothing "flying all over the place", no invisible windows, no windows stuck outside of viewports ... those are all different issues, open new bugs about those they have nothing with the ticket open there

Not sure what you are talking about but fixing the "one workspace or all workspace" action will fix none of the issues you complain about

where? you mean the patch there which changes the desktop behaviour? the things you just complained about, being tired of "that change the behavior of the desktop all the time" ... now you complain that we want to keep some stability? if you want some credibility there you get to pick, do you want things changing all the time and again to fix that issue or do you want things to keep working in a consistant way?

what has wayland to do with any of this?

sorry about that, but you are using work from volunteers there, you are paying nothing for the product and people do the best to help, it's a bit easy and unfair to just blame people who work for you on free to not work enough
