I have the default four workspaces. In the unity workspace switcher, when I single-click the top half of the area of a workspace, I can't highlight it. I can only select a space, when I click somewhere bellow the bottom half of its area (as defined by the orange border). This problem happens ONLY to the bottom two of the four available workspaces.
Also I can double click anywhere and the space switches. So, the problem is only with the selection/highlighting of the workspace.
I'm also using a multimonitor setup, if this has anything to do with it.

I'm not able to reproduce this behavior on Precise with Ubuntu on an Intel gfx laptop in a docking station. I tried both with a single monitor and with an external monitor. Single-clicking to select the workspace always worked, and doubleclicking seemed to work as well.
I did notice some wonky screen painting problem but that's a separate bug, which I'll file subsequently.
Would you mind testing to see if the problem also is resolved in your case in Precise? If you don't want to install Ubuntu Precise, it should be sufficient to boot a Live USB session, configure the monitors, and see if it is working properly now. You can get the current Live USB desktop image at http://
