Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

In indicator signals it needs attention (becomes blue) and you are in expo mode clicking on it will return to the previous active workspace. Expected behavior is that the workspace with the relevant window is activated.

Steps to reproduce.
-start empathy
-open expo mode
-wait for incoming message ;-)
-click on indicator

Related is functioning in spread mode where an indicator click results in no action. Consistency should be improved

I assume that by 'indicator' you mean the launcher icon of the relevant window.

For me none of the indicators work in expo mode. Its really great that I can work with unity, switch applications etc. but I can't lock out when Im in expo for example...
