Bug Description

I'm testing 12.04 64-bit, with all the latest updates. Scale plugin has action "Initiate Window Picker" that in 11.04 displayed windows from current workspace, and action "Initiate window picker for all windows" that displayed windows from all workspaces. In 12.04 (compiz version 0.9.7.0), both actions display windows from current workspace. "Initiate window picker for all windows" should display windows from all workspaces.

A simple, yet powerful, function that saves me a fair bit of time. Now missing in 12.04 :-(

Changing the settings in CCSM does not change the behaviour of key-binding, mouse-binding or hot-corner-binding.

I have exactly the same problem. I have chosen "initiate all windows" when mouse goes to lower right corner. Result: Only the windows of the active workspace are shown.

It's not working in Intel Graphics as well. So for sure it's not a graphics driver issue.

I sadly must confirm this "bug" which seems more to be a "feature-bug". I hope you will fix it to it's old behaviour because I really need this at work. Currently I use 10.04 Desktop there but I planned to switch to Unity until next year. If this, for me urgently needed, feature is not available, I sadly have to choose another working environment which delivers this feature in it's originally behaviour.

Thanks
