Bug Description

When you open a window and then switch virtual desktops, clicking on an icon in the launcher does not raise the window. It only functions for windows on the same virtual desktop.

In older Ubuntu, (12.04 lts for sure) clicking on the icon would automatically switch desktops to display the window associated with the icon you're clicking. In the current version, if you open a window and then switch desktops, the icon on the launcher effectively does nothing. You have to go find your window manually. This seriously breaks the way I use multiple desktops and the workspace switcher to manage multiple applications.
