(Get the code!)
I can reproduce this bug in Oneiric.
it seems when over the half of the window is "overlapping" to another workspace, the bug appears.
I made some research:
- using Ubuntu 10.04 with desktop effects enabled, I can reproduce this bug.
so I think, this particular bug is older than unity. (compiz only)
I have not found any old bug reports referring to this issue (yet), so I think nobody ran into this issue in the past (before unity).
WHY? 2 theories: In pre-Unity Ubuntu releases,
- The default window placement (for new opened windows) was better, so no one had to maximize overlapping windows, because the windows opened non-overlapping.
- The "typical" usage of windows changed with unity (e.g. new users, not familiar with unity features, "push" windows to the side of the screen to get to the program below, instead of using unity launcher to do that.
In natty I can say that the window placement is not ideal and this bug appears very often.
I have not tried oneiric for intensive use yet, eventually the window placement is better.
