2012-05-12 16:06:18 Erik S description This problem occurs since my update from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 with Unity 5.12 and Compiz 0.9.7.8: When I switch through my workspaces (6 workspaces: 2 rows with 3 destops) I can see for some milliseconds a window which is neither on the workspace switching from nor on the workspace switching to. But in the same row, when I switch horizontally. Example: Row 1: Workspace 1: firefox Workspace 2: //nothing Workspace 3: thunderbird Row 2: Workspace 4: //nothing Workspace 5: skype + empathy Workspace 5: banshee And now: When I switch from 1 to 2 I can see parts of the Thunderbird window but just for a very very short time. Thunderbird even appears on the switcher preview (Desktop Wall plugin in Compiz) for a short moment... Same for 2 -> 3; 4 -> 5; 5 -> 6 and the other way around. But not when I switch to another row (e.g: 1 -> 4) I took some interesting screenshots. It seems like all windows switch to their left workspace for a millisecond... (see screenshot 2) The windows and workspaces on the screenshots are equal to ones noted above.
