Ah, I can reproduce it now. I was not following directions correctly (was late at night...). This definitely still happens in 12.04: the window actually gets displaced badly there. I made a video in Oneiric because I can't get kazam or recordmydesktop to function properly. The video details all the problems besides window displacement.
** Attachment added: "bug.ogv" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/791412/+attachment/2845451/+files/bug.ogv ** Description changed: Binary package hint: unity Working in a default, 2x2 workspaces setup, workspaces are numbered: 1 2 3 4 Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a window (tried with nautilus and thunderbird) on a workspace, and snap it to the side of the screen on which the workspace can be found in the desktop wall (that would be left edge for windows on workspaces 1 and 3, right edge for 2 and 4) 2) Switch to the workspace horizontally neighbouring the current workspace (to the left or to the right) and open/focus a window there 3) Click the icon of the window snapped from the launcher Expected result: The workspace containing the app should be shown with the app you have selected What happens instead: The workspace is not switched, the window seems to be focused, as the triangle appears near its icon, and the shadow on one side of the workspace gets bigger. - I assume that the shadow is handled as part of the window, that is why - unity thinks that the window is visible on the current workspace, but - that's an assumption, I'll leave it to the devs to investigate further. + in 12.04 the window also gets awkwardly displaced. Unfortunately, screen + recording is nonfunctional for me in 12.04 right now. + + A video of the bug in Oneric can be seen here: + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/791412/+attachment/2845451/+files/bug.ogv + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: unity 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,grid,obs,regex,commands,snap,animation,imgpng,vpswitch,annotate,unitymtgrabhandles,resize,workarounds,gnomecompat,expo,place,mousepoll,move,ezoom,animationaddon,session,staticswitcher,wall,ring,fade,scale,unityshell] Date: Wed Jun 1 11:48:34 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791412 Title: Does not switch to right desktop upon launcher click, when target application is side-window-snapped To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/791412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
