Usage of the grid keeps windows on all desktops and confuses the window manager as to which desktop it is on.

[jhfhlkjlj]

When using the 'snap' feature on my windows I sporadically cannot switch desktops without the windows appearing there as well. Consequently, the alt+tab function is often confused and the window itself can be clicked through.

Please see the attached video.

I can tell something is going on, but your video is much too sporadic to be useful in diagnosing the problem. Next time please try doing things slower and much more deliberately.

The issue appears to be stacking problems, caused by the workspace switcher or alt-tab.

Cannot reproduce any more. Assuming it's fixed.
