Maximized window confuses workspace switcher

[Zisu Andrei]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place random window on screen 1 and maximize it
2. Click the workspace switcher
3. Go to viewport 3 (column 1, row 2)
4. Click on the workspace switcher
5. In the launcher, click on the window from step 1.

These steps will get you to window 3 even though logically you should be on window 1.

There are several other inconsistencies that manifest with windows between workspaces and some others that manifest sporadically (which I cannot really recall right now)

The situation I could not recall was when you place the window on half of the screen by pushing it to the left border of pushing it to the right border. It amanifests the same as bug above, but it only acts in a situation like if step 1 has window on screen 1 and the window on the right half and in step 3 you witch to screen 2 (column 2, row 1).

Is this the same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878050?

[Zisu Andrei (matzipan)]

Not entirely. This bug manifests even when the window is not spanning two
screens, but it is right on the edge.

Yours,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
