I see we will get new behavior in the future release:

http://design.canonical.com/2012/03/task-switching-in-ubuntu-and-a-introduction-to-the-spread/

I see that workspaces will be disabled by default. Kind of expected yes, but when enabled i found this:

"The user want to get hold of the Inkscape document which was previously displayed on their external display. The user double-clicks on the Inkscape icon in the Launcher to show the application spread:"

"As there are no Chromium windows on the current workspaces to bring into focus, the Workspace Switcher is invoked, offering the option to either switch to an existing Chromium window, or create a new one:"

This is OK but:

-If one instance of the application is already opened on current workspace then i guess user will get the result from this "fixed bug"?
-If two or more will be opened on current workspace application spread will occur but only for the windows from the current workspace?

Too bad I wouldn't mind if application spread would list windows from other workspaces too. Maybe ALT + Tab could be used for current workspace only but application spread could show windows from all workspaces but smaller, different color and below the ones from current workspace.
