Bug Description
[Test Case]
1. Set Unity to use 1 workspace (e.g. through ccsm)
2. Open few windows of the same application
3. Click on the application icon in the Launcher
-> Verify that the spread appears with the application windows
[Regression Potential]
No regression potential.
Original description:
What it says in the title.
I dislike multiple desktops, and also dislike the Workspace Switcher taking up a tile in my launcher. Even if I used multiple workspaces, I still wouldn't want the tile in my launcher.
So I've used MyUnity to change the number of workspaces to 1. Up until Unity 5.12, this took care of both of my problems.
Now, with Unity 5.12, doing this also disables the spread function. If I click the launcher tile for an application that has multiple windows, absolutely nothing happens. This makes it cumbersome to manage an app that has many windows open.
Please revert whatever change disables spread on a single-workspace configuration. Alternately, please allow some way to remove the Workspace Switcher tile from the Launcher (that's a bigger problem to me than actually having workspaces I do not use).

Yes, I have the same issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04..... what a sick distro..... and even the screensaver is doesn't work as before....
I wonder why the team don't make a fully test before roll-out such LTS version!!
Currently, there still no one be assigned to handle this bug... how long should we waiting to enjoy the standard multi-tasking / multi-window? WHO knows.......
I just have to save my composing email in draft, and then close this mail window, and then go back to the Thunderbird inbox to check some reference info. in another mail.... and then open the draft mail again to continue my composing...... what a shit execise...
