View Full Version : [ubuntu] Minor annoyance when switching workspaces with maximized windows

My workflow is heavily based around switching between workspaces. Also, I often work on a laptop with a relatively small screen, so I prefer running most applications in full-screen mode, where the unity launcher as well as the menu bar is hidden. However, when I switch workspaces with shift+ctrl+arrow, the launcher and menu bar pop up even when switching to full-screen applications. It's a minor issue, and they tend to go away when I do anything in the application. It is a workflow annoyance though, albeit a relatively minor one.

I am guessing it is somehow related to the application window not automatically being updated when switching workspaces? I can see why it would be like this, if two applications were in a single workspace, which one should be activated? I am just wondering if there is some sort of workaround for this issue?
