windows disapear when moved using workspace switcher

[Thomas]

Binary package hint: unity

Start an X application (I used xlogo from an xterm)
Right-click on the menu-bar and select "Always on Visible Workspace"
Bring up the workspace switcher (super-S)
Left-click drag the app from any workspace into a different workspace
Expected behavior: "Always on Visible Workspace" is disabled and the app appears in the destination window
Observed behavior: The app will disappear, apparently without terminating (i.e. xterm still has it running, pidof still finds it)

Tried to reproduce here, upon starting xlogo, and hitting "Always visible on workspace", then doing <super-S> i get the screenshot attached. So I can't move it to another workspace, its already there. Marking as incomplete.

[Mikołaj (novemberox)]

I have the same problem. What more info do you need?

I have ubuntu 11.04, using nvidia-drivers-current. I don't have natty proposed turned on. I'm using dual monitors, with absolute positioning.
