Unable to move maximized windows from one workspace to another

[Jeff Lane ]

Binary package hint: unity

I noticed this this morning when clicking a link in an e-mail opened up Firefox on the current desktop. Whenever an app is maximized in Unity, right clicking the panel (even when it's showing the menu for the maximized app) does nothing. In order to actually move an application to another workspace, you have to un-maximize the app, THEN right click the header bar and select "Move to Workspace [Right,Left,Down,Up]"

This seems inconsistent with behaviour when an application is not minimized.

Expected result:

When an app is maximized, right clicking the menu bar at the top should open a context menu that provides the same sort of workspace movement options as when right clicking the app in it's unmaximized state.

While the capacity is not available through a right-click and menu bar - there is a keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+SHIFT {right,left,up, down) that allows a maximized window to be quickly moved to another workspace. Peace - Anthony
