Bug Description
The default thru natty and until recently on 11.10 has been to pull all windows of a window group from ALL workspaces when left clicking on a launcher icon
The new behavior is to only pull from the current workspace if there is more than 1 window of that group open, all other windows of that group on other workspaces are ignored.
There were 2 related bugs in natty that opposed each other, the first one was fixed (though not directly), and describes what is the default in natty and was in O
Bug #707214
This one was the complete opposite, never fix released but is representative of the current behavior -
Bug #689733
Obviously only one can be the intended behavior - which one?
If it is now intended to only pull from current workspace than at the very least you need to free up the key binding in the scale plugin for window picker for window group
Obviously I believe it should pull all windows from ALL workspaces of the clicked on app (window group
