Bug Description

On ubuntu, installed through repository. Using http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu, updated daily. I use compiz.
With "show all windows" unchecked, and "group common windows" checked.

When two instances of the same application are opened on two different workspaces, clicking on the icon of this app in the awn toolbar switch workspace, and bring me to the other instance.

For example, I open a terminal on workspace 1 and 2. On workspace 1, with the focus on another application, I click on the terminal icon in my toolbar. It restore the two windows on my two workspaces, switch workspace and give the focus to the terminal on workspace 2. If I go back to workspace 1, my terminal will be on the front.

Once the two terminals are on the front of each workspace, clicking on the terminal icon will switch workspace, from one to the other.

It does look like bug #503106, but it seems this bug has been fixed, and I still see the problem on my version.
a --version gives me the following :
Avant Window Navigator 0.4.0~rc2

It does not seems to be related with the application, as it works with any
of them. I reproduce it with the terminal, with firefox, with gedit, and
with the calculator.
It think this may be more a configuration issue. I just reinstalled awn, and
still see the problem.
I tried launching awn into a terminal, and receive the two following error
messages :

(awn-applet:3372): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_application_get_windows: assertion
`WNCK_IS_APPLICATION (app)' failed

** (awn-applet:3372): CRITICAL **:
desktop_agnostic_fdo_desktop_entry_glib_real_get_localestring: assertion
`locale != NULL' failed

I use the windows manager applet, in the task manager tab, only "group
common window" is checked.

The step to reproduce, for me, are quite straightforward :
- start the computer
- start an application (either throught the launchbar, or by gnome do)
- switch desktop and start the application again
- click on the application icon in awn, the desktop will switch back to the
first workspace
- clicking on the application icon bring me back and forth between the two
workspaces.

Is there any way I can get more debug infos from awn ?

Yann,

I'm unable to duplicate the issue either. I'm guessing that you are correct and that it involves a configuration detail but I'm not sure if it's a awn configuration or a compiz configuration. Have you enabled/disabled/reconfigured any compiz plugins away from the standard Ubuntu configuration?

Yann,

Disregard the previous post. I've managed to reproduce the issue. A short term fix until a fix is committed is to select "Show dialog after long press".

Thanks,

Great, the problem does not appear any more. :-)

Two days between the date the bug is raised and the day it is corrected, that's really impressive.
Thanks a lot for your work !
