unity launcher scale function has lost some functionality

[Doug McMahon]

Binary package hint: unity

prior to i believe the update to 3.2.12 the scale function when clicking on an icon could 'pull' all open windows of an app to the display screen even if on multiple workspaces.

since then multiple windows are only retrieved if they are on the same workspace and if there are windows on different workspaces then only the ones on current workspace are shown

side issue
 if on a workspace with no open windows but have multiple on one and a single on another then before scale one is always switched to the workspace with one open window

Doug, the goal is to let you zoom out to all workspaces, but that's an
extra step.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

As of unity-3.4 the scale function I've mentioned as missing (if scale is the correct term), is now working fine.
Ex. -
5 nautilus windows open on 3 workspaces

A single click on launcher icon brings nautilus window(s) to focus on current space (tiled in order of opening, last to first
A second click pulls all nautilus windows to the display/choose screen from all workspaces.
(excellent feature

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

I guess if the intention is not to use scale on the launcher icons or modify the function of beyond what's currently avail. in cssm than this bug still being valid makes sense.

Otherwise, as scale, it's working perfectly, would hate to see it go.

(- first click returns focus on window(s) in current workspace if need be, otherwise pulls all
if 1st click returned focus, 2nd click pulls all
clicking on an 'empty' area in pull screen minimizes to launcher window(s) on that workspace, returns any others, if any, to their orig. workspace(s)
