Title:
Maximize Window Bug - Using Workspaces
Status in Compiz:
New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The code that gets initiated when a window is maximize is flawed in
regards to which workspace it targets for maximization.
When a window becomes maximized it should always maximize to the
workspace "where the mouse-cursor was at" at the time that the
maximization was initiated. Yet, in Unity, the windows manager will
maximize to a different workspace if a certain portion of that window
is outside the bounds of the current workspace.
To easily reproduce this undesired behavior:
1) Enable Workspaces:
System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Enable Workspaces
2) Drag any maximizable window (of any application) to the bottom of
the screen, so that its title-bar is still visible on the current
workspace, but a fair portion overflows into the underneath-workspace.
3) Maximize the window.
Result: It will maximize the window to another workspace than the
workspace you were in at the time of the maximization.

Although this is a different bug, it would benefit greatly if the
Window-Maximization code was based on the workspace "where the mouse-
cursor was at" at the time of maximization.
