Hi Jörg, Thanks for taking time to report this bug and making Ubuntu better.
The behavior you describe is actually by design. However, if you'd like for the workspace to actually switch, you can use CCSM to do this. 1. Open CCSM. 2. Go to Desktop Wall->Viewport Switching. 3. Check "Auto Switch Vp and Window" This should restore most of the behavior you are expecting with the one caveat that the window will also move completely into the other workspace. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313090 Title: Program activating over more Desktops failed Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I use 4 x 3 Desktops. A program window is over 2 Desktops and I'm on the lower Desktop (see screenshot). On activation over the sidebar the Desktop don't change to the upper. I think on activation the Desktop must change to the DT with the menu line ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: unity 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-15.25-generic 3.11.10 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Ist ein Verzeichnis: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.38 Wed Jan 8 19:32:30 PST 2014 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,crashhandler,composite,opengl,decor,compiztoolbox,gnomecompat,regex,animation,grid,mousepoll,snap,vpswitch,wall,workarounds,dbus,screenshot,resize,place,move,imgpng,fade,expo,ezoom,session,notification,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,unityshell,bench] CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat Apr 26 14:36:19 2014 DistUpgraded: 2014-04-18 16:40:52,576 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.7, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-331-updates, 331.38, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.3.10, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.3.10, 3.11.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.3.10, 3.13.0-24-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] [10de:0a65] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
