Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

How to reprouce:
1)On a window, choose the option "Always on visible workspace"
2)Open Expo (I do it with mod4+e shortcut)
3)Try to drag the window that is visible in all workspaces to other workspace

I made this with Pidgin's buddy list and the window disappeared from the panel (both window list and notification area), Alt-Tab finds the window but when I select it (releasing the Alt key) it switches to other workspace and doesn't show the window.

Yeah, it looks like we fixed every other way you can lose a window marked "Always On Visible Workspace" but missed expo. It does very obviously show the window going into nothingness when you try to move it to another viewport though.

Also, please don't confirm your own bugs. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status
