2015-11-07 12:25:14 Jon description I run Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as a VirtualBox guest (both with VB 4.3.x and 5.x) using the default desktop. If I toggle the size of the screen (using Host-Right-Ctrl) from maximised to not maximised and then back again, the workspaces behave incorrectly. The same happens also if I save and restore a VirtualBox session from disk. Here is what goes wrong: - Maximised windows move between Workspaces - When activating the Workspaces viewer, maximised windows cannot be dragged to the Workspace they should be on - Unmaximising and re-maximising a window fixes the problem for that window only I have written a script to toggle the maximisation status of all windows, which resolves the problem. I will add that, and system information, once this report is submitted. I have installed a brand new Ubuntu guest using the "ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso" image and cannot reproduce the problem. It is perhaps the case that the problematic machine was installed using the "ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso" image (I don't know if that would matter).

Here is what goes wrong: - Maximised windows move between Workspaces - When activating the Workspaces viewer, maximised windows cannot be dragged to the Workspace they should be on - they appear to drag, and then "snap back" to their present (wrong) location - Unmaximising and re-maximising a window fixes the problem for that window only I have written a script to toggle the maximisation status of all windows, which resolves the problem.

I don't think the Workspace grid size makes any difference - I've had this happen with 3x2 and 3x3 arrangements.
