[MATE] Browser does not remember workspace after leaving full screen video

[Daniel LaSalle]

Using 2x screens in portrait mode, if I display my browser on the right-side panel of workspace 1, watch a video and full screen it, after I <ESC> off the video the browser will now be displayed on the left-side panel of workspace 1.

After more testing it seems that regardless on which workspace the browser was in before going into full screen that it will end up on the opposite workspace after getting unmaximized.
