Saurabh Gupta (bhaismachine) wrote : Switch to windows placed on two work spaces causes the window to switch workspace

1) Open any application or window on a workspace and move it more than 50% outside the screen's edge so that the remaining part resides on another adjacent workspace
2) Now try to switch to that application or window using alt-tab or window spread the application is brought to focus but the workspace now switches to that adjacent workspace mention in (1) . This workspace switch is not desired.

I have attached a video which demonstrates the problem.

I have narrowed this bug down to the "desktop wall" plugin. If I switch to "desktop cube" plugin using CCSM then the workspaces do not switch while switch to windows/applications which are placed as described in (1)

I am running Ubuntu 12.10 with latest updates. Quantal proposed sources are enabled but the bug is present even in compiz from default quantal sources.

Compiz version : 1:0.9.8.6-0ubuntu1

If any other information is needed I will try to provide it as soon as I can. Thanks.
