Indicator applet doesn't change current workspace when clicked on a "task"

[Krzysztof Klimonda]

When, for exaple, a new email comes and I click on Evolution Mail entry
in indicator-applet it doesn't change my current workspace (I keep my
Evolution window on the second workspace, browse web on the first one
etc). Only Urgency Hint for a window is set.

Can you tell us which version of Ubuntu and which version of the package have you got installed?

(or you can do from a terminal window: apport-collect 410785)

[Paul Kohler (moxiewhimsy)]

I can confirm this in Karmic Koala (9.10-beta).
apt-cache policy indicator-applet
indicator-applet:
  Installed: 0.2.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.2.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.2.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+bug/423631 appears to be a duplicate or similar/related bug report in Jaunty Jackelope (9.04).

Still would consider this Wishlist. Granted, it would enhance function.

Confirmed on a current Karmic and Jaunty by other reporters.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

confirmed on Lucid as well.
