** Description changed: Gnome 3 environment. - Pick a pdf file, for instance. open a terminal. - launch pdf.: evince test.pdf - Now move evine window it to another space (ctrl-alt-rightarrow) + launch some pdf.: evince test.pdf + Now move evince window it to another space (ctrl-alt-rightarrow) now have a look at which windows the manager thinks are on this workspace: alt-tab. There should be just your terminal. now relaunch the pdf: evince test.pdf - Nothing visible happens, since the window is on another workspace. - But look at what the manager things: press alt-tab and you will see that the new window is apparently on the current workspace. really? so try to pick it. ie alt-tab until you choose it. now it's in focus. but invisible. Either it should not be listed on this workspace, or we should move to it if we select it with the window switcher. - It remains in the alt-tab listing until we visit it where it really is (alt-ctrl-righarrow) and come back. + Nothing visible happens, since the window is on another workspace. + But look at what the manager thinks: press alt-tab and you will see that the new window is apparently on the current workspace. really? so try to pick it. ie alt-tab until you choose it. now it's in focus. but invisible.
