Bug Description

This bug appears in multi-monitor setups.

When clicking the workspace button, the user sees an exposé of workspaces that can then be used to drag windows around. In the past this would only appear in one monitor, but now it appears duplicated, so that when the user moves a window in the left monitor, the window also moves in the right monitor, which makes the whole experience unnatural and confusing.

It's not just a mirrored image, it's actually a wrap around, so that if you keep dragging to the right you can drag the window from the right most workspace in the left monitor, back into the left most workspace in the right monitor.

This happens in Trusty. Unity version: 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu2
