the same happens with upper and lower workspaces, not just with left and right borders.
1) go to the bottom-left workspace 2) open gedit (or another program) and drag it to the left so that it takes the half of your screen 3) go to top-left workspace 4) click on the gedit icon in the launcher what you will see: 1) the workspace wil not change 2) gedit will drop a few pixels and you will see the bottom border of gedit on the top-left workspace. So to go to gedit afterwards, you need to go to workspace 3 and you need to drag gedit a few pixels up again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776074 Title: Unity launcher won't switch to appropriate workspace when window against desktop border -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
