Switching workspaces brings fullscreen windows to the front

Wanted behaviour: when I switch workspace to the right and come back shortly after, I will see the same window that was in focus back in focus, not hid by another fullscreen window.



Real behaviour: suppose we have 2 windows running, a browser (not in fullscreen mode) and a console in fullscreen mode, and no other windows in any of the workspaces. Now I focus on the browser, and switch workspace to the right, and shortly after come back left. The browser is still in focus, but I don't see it - the console hides it in fullscreen mode. I know that the browser is still in focus since when I type and alt-tab twice to see the browser, I see what I typed.



If you switch workspaces using alt-ctrl-right, and keep the alt-ctrl pressed, you even see after a very short time period the console hiding the browser in the small workspace-switcher overlay.



This bug is in every one of my computers, most of them with a freshly installed ubuntu 16.04, one of them with 14.04.



It makes the combination fullscreen+workspaces practically impossible.



I think this might be related to another fullscreen bug, described here: Alt-tab does not show window switcher when in fullscreen mode

          How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
