Bug Description

Place a window in a corner using the GRID plugin (ie: bottom-left).
Switch to any other workspace using EXPO.
The window is visible on any other workspace, even though it shouldn't be.

This issue does NOT reproduce if the window is placed on a side (ie: right) instead of a corner.

I'm seeing this under Ubuntu 12.10 as well. Snapping to a corner position is useless with this bug.

Why has this bug been marked as duplicate in preference of a newer bug?
Keeping the older bug helps keep track of when the issue was originally reported, and how many people reported were affected by it. It really odd to keep a newer one.
