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
