Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I use a 2x2 virtual desktop grid that comes standard in Unity.

Steps to reproduce:
* Place a window[1] at the bottom edge of one of the two bottom workspaces, i.e. desktop (1,2) or (2,2) in the 2x2 grid.
* Switch to the workspace directly above.
* In the Unity "dock", click the icon representing the program you placed on the workspace below.
* Observe the window appearing at the top of the current workspace!

What should happen:
The workspace should switch from the current workspace to the workspace below, which is where the window is located.

What happens instead:
The window is moved to the top of the current workspace.

A video is attached to show the bug in action. Please note that the window does not have to be in the lower *right* corner. It can be anywhere along the bottom edge of the workspace.

[1] nautilus, gnome-terminal and gcalctool are affected by this bug. However, I'm not getting this with Google Chrome windows, for example. So it might have to do with theming/edges of windows(?). I'm not sure.

The video is h264 in a matroska container. I apologize if this is inconvenient. I can convert it into another format if necessary.
