Bug Description

1) Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

2) Unity:
  Installed: 4.24.0-0ubuntu2.1
  Candidate: 4.24.0-0ubuntu2.1
  Version table:
 *** 4.24.0-0ubuntu2.1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4.22.0-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

3) When I am using one of the two workspaces left and I try to put a window in the right of the that workspace and resize it to half screen size by dragging it to the edge of the screen, I expect the whole window to stay on that workspace.

4) Part of the window (2 Pixels) are on the right workspace (See the attached images). Switching between windows and workspaces is affected by that.

I was experiencing the same issue on 11.04 also.

I find this bug really annoying because the window that invades the neighbouring workspace has focus in 2 workspaces. This is annoying when you change between this workspaces frequently. Please fix.
