Public bug reported: When switching workspaces, occasionally (1 out of 10 times, sometimes more frequently) the launcher and panel do not update. This means that although a worskpace is opened with a focused window, the panel still reads "Ubuntu Desktop" and the launcher is gray (as it is when selecting workspaces). The launcher is still functional and can bring other windows forward, but it stays gray and the panel still says "Ubuntu Desktop." They only update properly whenl the user either switches desktops again or activates a window spread.
See the attached screenshot. In it, Firefox is actually focused, so the panel should read "New Tab - Mozilla Firefox". And, of course, the launcher should not be gray. I wonder if it is related to showing menus in the window's title bar setting, since I can't seem to reproduce it with the old global menu. Not sure about that though.
