Bug Description
If I arrange two overlapping windows on a workspace (i.e. a 80% sized FireFox overlapping a littly VLC player) on switching from this workspace to another workspace and back destroys my window layout and the large window (FireFox, Thunderbird, etc.) is maximized.
As a user I want unity to retain my window layout per workspace. Esp. after I manually un-maximized and arranged my windows manually.
-------
Desired resolution:
- Shifting between workspaces should not change the window layout on any workspace in any way
summary: |
- Unity maximizes windows on switching workspaces + Unity destroys window layout (maximize) on switching workspaces |

@Benjamin,
Which version of Unity are you using, and how are you changing workspaces?
I'm running the latest precise build, and using the keybindings to move workspaces, and I don't see this issue at all.
