Description zerocostabstraction 2022-06-17 12:42:10 UTC

SUMMARY

The title is a mouthful. Let me explain. Currently, I'm focused on workspace 1, on monitor A. I want to take my window, to monitor B, workspace 4. So what I do is drag windows across the monitor, into the top-bar where the workspaces are. The window on my cursor gets smaller and everything, but the window is then placed in workspace 1, on monitor B. I can then drag it to workspace 4, and it displays where I want to. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter overview
2. Drag window to the workspace bar on the other monitor
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Window doesn't show up in the non focused workspace on the other monitor, but on the focused workspace.

EXPECTED RESULT

Window is placed to the workspace I dragged it too, achieving the same functionality on a single monitor and multi monitor setups.

Virtual desktops aren't per-monitor, so you don't need to drop the window onto a desktop in the bar on the other monitor; just drop it into the main area on that monitor. Does that work?

Sure it works. But I don't understand why it would work differently depending on if I cross monitor borders with my mouse or not. As I described above, I want to move monitor and workspace at the same time. Currently this is two operations, when I think it was intended for it to be 1.

Because there's some bug, clearly. :) Seems like it's Bug 455404.
