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).
-----
3v1n0:
The bug happens in Compiz due to the fact that window->defaultViewport() does
not always return an invalid value when there are offscreen windows. For
example this bug seems caused by "gtk-window-decorator" windows like this one:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1066811/ that according to compiz are in the same
workspace of the window we're trying to focus, even if they're actually outside
it.
The bug doesn't seem to happen all the times here, but it happens always to
many other users.
