Martin Wildam (mwildam) wrote : Switching desktop a maximized window is always pushed to front

When I switch desktops (no matter if using hotkeys or using unity desktop switcher at the launcher) and a maximized window exists on the desktop that gets the focus, that window is pushed to the foreground/front even if another window was the active one when I left that desktop the last time.

Steps to reproduce:

a) start two applications (e.g. LibreOffice and Nautilus, Firefox and Nautilus or whatever).
b) Maximize one of those windows.
c) Switch to the non-maximized one (bring it to the front).
d) Switch desktop.
e) Switch back to first desktop.

Actual effect: Maximized windows is put to front

Desired effect: Show desktop in exactly the way as it was before switching desktop.

Reason: User in first reaction is missing the window he/she was using before.
