[ Ryan Tandy ]
* Fix gnome-flashback session starting Unity plugins. Change the
profile back after processing settings upgrades. When changing
profile, discard existing GSettings wrappers pointing to the old
profile. (LP: #1232299)
[ Chris Townsend ]
* Remove the Number of Desktops option in CCSM as this option confuses
Compiz and is really no longer needed since the Horizontal/Vertical
Virtual Desktop Size is what is used for determining the size. (LP:
#1289820)
* Due to some change in Gtk SpinButton, setting the initial value in
Adjustment does not work for integers, so now just explicitly set
the value after the SpinButton is created. (LP: #1294341)

Title:
'Move to Another Workspace' causes window to disappear
Status in Compiz:
Fix Committed
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in “compiz” source package in Trusty:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
If users set the wrong setting in Compiz Config Settings Manager
(CCSM), it is possible for a users window to disappear when using
"Move to Workspace X" when right clicking on a windows decoration.
This can make seem like the user has lost their window and force the
user to potentially loose any unsaved works if they can't figure out
how to recover the window.
[Test Case]
To reproduce:
* Open CCSM by either typing "ccsm" in the command line or finding it in the
Dash.
* Go to General Options->Desktop Size.
* Enter some number > 1 for "Number of Desktops".
* Right click on the decoration of a window and select "Move to Workspace
Right".
* Watch the window disappear with no trace.
After applying this fix:
* The "Number of Desktops" option should be gone.
[Regression Potential]
For Ubuntu running Unity, none identified.
Very small chance that some other desktop environment may use this setting,
but none of the major desktop environments use it.
Original description:
When using the 'Move to Another Workspace' right-click option on a
window, the window disappears from the current workspace, but is not
present in any other workspace. It effectively is no longer
accessible, though it can still be killed. Disabling workspaces does
not cause the lost window to reappear, but setting the number of
desktops to 1 in CCSM > General Options > Desktop Size > Number of
Desktops does the trick and the window reappears.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (latest updates as of 2014-03-07) and NVIDIA
proprietary drivers. I do not experience this problem on Ubuntu
13.04.
