When trying to recreate this bug report I found that after I reduced the number of workspaces the application seemed to disappear but I was able to get it back without increasing the number of workspaces. Steps to recreate follow:
1) increase number of workspaces to 3 rows and 1 column from 2 rows and 1 column 2) launch application on workspace 3 3) move to workspace 1 4) reduce workspaces to 2 rows and 1 column 5) switch to workspace 2 via ctrl+alt+right 6) notice application from closed workspace 3 show up when switching 7) switch back to workspace 1 and see "missing" application there I was using Hardy Heron with compiz version 1:0.7.0-0ubuntu1 and 2.21.91-0ubuntu1. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Confirmed -- Changing number of workspaces using compiz can make windows inaccessible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
