Public bug reported:
Unity allows user to switch between application windows using Super + numeric
keys.
When the selected app window is not on the current virtual screen, Unity (or
compiz, I don't know) switch to the corresponding virtual screen.
THE BUG IS:
When only a few pixels of the application window is already visible on the
current virtual screen, it does not switch virtual screen. It just select the
window and bring it to front, which is often not visible by the user because
the visible part of the windows is too small.
It often happens after the user snaps a window to the border of the screen. The
border of the window is overlapping 1 or 2 pixels on the neighbour virtual
screen. Now, when the user is on this neighbour screen, selecting the windows
with the Super key has virtually no effect.
ENHANCEMENT
Instead of just checking if the selected window is visible on the current
virtual screen, Unity should check if the current virtual screen is the one
where the windows has a majority of its pixels.
