This problem is mostly happening for me when trying to access an application on a different workspace by clicking the application's icon in the unity launcher.
It happens very often with skype, but also terminal is now affected. If I try to access terminal by clicking on the according icon in the launcher, the window is lost. If an application like GIMP or NETBEANS opens a dialog, it might also be lost if you switch to a different workspace before the dialog opens. This bug is a serious obstacle during work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to dia in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003057 Title: Windows disappear unexpectedly when switching application Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When working with some applications, after you switch between application the window of the firt application disappears and can't be reached again, although through ps command you can see that the application is still running.
