Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz-core

If you select a window to be "Always on Visible Workspace" and you move it to another workspace using the "Move to Another Workspace" option, the window will disappear, nowhere to be found.

Disabling plugins also does not seem to be effective but disabling compiz solves the issue so I'm sure it's compiz that's causing it.

I'm using compiz-core 1.0.6.0+git20071006-0ubuntu2.

I have exactly the same. Running compiz as well.

The window does not exactly disappear with me, but rather keeps moving from workspace to workspace, as if it is running 'one workspace in front of the current one'. Example might help:

Suppose I have 4 workspaces, and I have Firefox running on workspace 1. I make it 'always on top'. Afterwards, I select 'move to workspace 2'. When I then select to show workspace 2, I see the preview of FF move to workspace 3. It is circular: selecting workspace 4 makes FF move to workspace 1.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/
