This affects Saucy too! same symptoms... To add to the symptoms, this also occurs when selecting an application (already launched, so just to switch to it, via unity launcher) other than the "Always on top/visable on all workspaces" application, when it must switch workspaces to focus the selected app... Instead of focusing the selected app, once the workspace is switched it will focus the "Always on top/visable on all workspaces" window instead.
This has been a security risk for me (let's try that approach :D , ok I know I can just disable the visable on all workspaces or always on top to fix BUT) as I've accidently provided my domain password to coworkers because of this issue. (IM client is my "Always on top/visable on all workspaces" so when I go to switch to my RDP session and I'm in a hurry, I just type out password and hit enter w/out thinking about it, so find I just IM'd my password to last my convo!!!! VERY annoying, as I've had to drop what I'm doing and change my password)! I have confirmed the symptoms are present no matter what application I set to "Always on top/visable on all workspaces"... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
