Bug Description
This bug seems to affect several things but here's a simple example:
1. open two applications on two seperate viewports
2. press super+w (which is the default key for initiating scale on *all* viewports)
Expected: A "spread" of all windows on all viewports
Instead: Only the windows of the current viewport and if that doesn't have any windows, none.
This also affects the application-spread that is initiated when you click the app-icon on the launcher. It only shows the windows of an application that reside on the current viewport.
Another example of how bad this is:
1. open two terminals on two seperate workspaces
2. minimize the terminal on the second workspace
3. on a third workspace click the terminal-icon on the launcher.
It will take you to the non-minimized terminal. The only way to find the minimized terminal is by either remembering the workspace on which you minimized it or by checking the small triangle to the left of the terminal icon on every workspace.
This is a regression that was introduced in precise.
