Per-app expose won't switch workspaces

[Matt Giuca]

The expose mode for an individual app doesn't switch workspaces. The global expose does, however.

To reproduce:
1. Open a window of an app (say, Terminal) in Workspace 1.
2. Switch to Workspace 2.
3. Open another window of the same app.
4. Double-click on the app's icon on the Unity launcher. This brings up the expose, showing all windows for that app across all workspaces.
5. Click on the window that you opened in Workspace 1.

What happens:
Unity switches to the window in Workspace 2 (whichever window was most recently opened in the current workspace).

What should happen:
Unity slides across to Workspace 1 and switches to the window that you clicked on.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this behavior in a full updated Natty install. If you could execute the following command it will automatically gather debugging information. In a terminal:

apport-collect BUGNUMBER

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Testing with unity 3.8.10 here, the problem isn't there anymore. Will mark as fixed, please re-report if problem persists after an update.

I also experience the correct behavior on Natty with unity 3.8.14-0ubuntu1~natty1, so I am setting the Ubuntu task to Fix released. If you still experience this problem, please reopen this task by setting it back to Confirmed, and describe the steps you use to reproduce, as the steps described in the description seem to result in the expected behavior.

[Matt Giuca (mgiuca)]

Yes, fixed for me too (original reporter).
