[Natty] Selecting half-maximized window on a different workspace is broken

[androith]

Binary package hint: unity

1. Open some application (say, terminal) on one workspace.
2. Pull the terminal to the left or right edge of the screen to maximize it on that half of the screen.
3. Go to a different workspace.
4. Click the terminal in Unity, expecting to move to the open terminal.

Step 4 fails because the terminal will merely be shifted a few dozen pixels so as to appear slightly in your current workspace. This makes shifting workspaces by clicking icons OF HALF MAXIMIZED APPS in Unity impossible.

Note that this bug DOES NOT occur for me when the app is fully maximized or in the middle of the screen, say.

I can't reproduce this bug. The terminal stays there, and clicking on the icon brings me to the previous workspace, as expected. Could you confirm that your Natty has all the updates installed (especially compiz and libnux-*)? Thanks!

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Okay, you seem to be running the latest versions. Marking confirmed; I managed to reproduce this on my Natty box running Unity 3.8.14 .
