Public bug reported:

Open windows on several workspaces, then switch to one of the workspaces :
Now, using super-s, switch to another workspace. You have to double-click the 
new workspace using the mouse, this is very important

When the new workspace is up, move your mouse to the edge of the screen, use 
the top, left or right of the screen.
On my machine, an orange box comes up, the same orange box as if you're trying 
to use the window tiling feature when you drag a window to the side of the 
display. You cannot interact with this orange window that is sitting over 
everything else. Sometimes it goes away on its own, sometimes I have to use 
super-s and move the mouse around a bit to get rid of it.

The issue seems to be that unity is getting confused about what I'm
actually trying to do. If you use the keyboard to move through the
workspaces, it doesn't happen, it seems to be the double-clicking on the
workspace that causes the problem.
