I followed Sam's steps to reproduce the bug in Precise and noticed that compiz will resize the window entirely in the new workspace.

When clicking on a launcher icon for an open window, Compiz should be aware where an open window is located - workspace 1, 2, 3, 4 - but it actively moves application windows to fit entirely in one workspace. Is this by design?

In other words, suppose you have a window spread over two workspaces. You click on its launcher icon. How does Compiz know which workspace to take you to? Should it be where the majority of the window is located? Or by some other criteria?
