Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Here is a feature, like a large number related to extended desktop, which work fine under Compiz but are broken in the released 11.04 unity: By default, shift-alt-uparrow shows all the current local windows in a selection mode. If I initiate this while cursor is in upper window of a top-bottom extended desktop, the windows are nicely arrayed and take up all the space of one screen.
If you do shift-alt-uparrow when in the lower screen, you get too-small windows scrunched in the overlap region where you can't see them (see attached image)
Proper behaviour would be to do the same nice thing in both cases.

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. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). 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. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.
Thank you for your help and patience.
