Description Tomasz Torcz 2011-04-18 08:31:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am using dual screen workspace. On the left I have main screen in landscape orientation. On the right second screen, with portrait orientation.

When I move a window to second screen, it stays there when I switch workspaces. I do not have "Occupy all workspaces" enabled for that window. When I move window back to the left screen, switching workspace cause window to properly disappear (leave on workspace it was put to).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a dual screen layout
2. Move window to secondary screen
3. Switch to new workspace.
  
Actual results:
Window on the secondary screen is moved to new workspace.

Expected results:
Windows should stay on workspace it was opened on.

Additional info:
This behaviour effectively reduces dual screen layout to single screen with dangling workspace.

This is working as expected, see, for the design:

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258

The upstream bug:

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645581

Covers the possibility of adding some sort of configurable mode for people who want workspaces to cover both desktops.
