Bug Description
Open windows/application will periodically end up on a non-existent workspace. This happens very regularly after unlocking the screen lock but also occassionally it will happen without having locked the screen. Swithcing back to a workspace and a given app will simply not be there. It appears like you cannot restore a window but in reality one can use unity tweak, increase the number of workspaces horizontally and find the window and move it back to the workspaces in use.
I'm running 14.04, in a dual monitor scenario, normally with only three workspaces arranged vertically, for 6 screens in all but only 3 workspaces. The disappearing windows always end up horizontally from the correct workspace. I haven't been able to tell for sure but having a dual window virtualbox running or a fullscreened Remmia RDP session may be a catalyst.
