I have 9 workspaces. Usually Google Chrome is on 1-st workspace. But sometimes open new window of Google Chrome on some other workspace, let say 3-rd. Then I click something that will open new Dialog Window (in Google Chrome), while working on 3-rd workspace, this new Dialog Windows will appear on 1-st workspace. And I don't know about it. I keep clicking a few times and then I realize that all new windows are opened in 1-st workspace.

I can easy reproduce this doing this steps:

  • Open Google Chrome
  • Press Ctrl + N, to open new Window
  • Move this 2-nd Windows to another workspace

  • Open gmail.com in this 2-nd Window, and compose new email.

  • Press attach enter image description here

  • New Attach Dialog will open in 1-st workspace, while I'm waiting it in 2-nd.

I just realized that it is no matter on which workspace Google Chrome is located, Dialog Window always appear on first workspace.

Is this bug of Ubuntu or Google Chrome? I want to report a bug, but don't know who is bugging

$ google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 36.0.1985.125 
$ uname -srv
Linux 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014

  • Did you try with firefox or chromium or other browsers? if this problem happens just in google-chrome, so there is a bug in the chrome and not Ubuntu itself. – αғsнιη Nov 14 '14 at 06:27

Ok it was just a comment but I post it as an answer may be it will help to someone else if he/she is looking for same issue.

According to my comment OP checked firefox and chromium. He reply that there is no such a problem in other browsers except google-chrome with version 36.0.1985.125. So it is not a bug related to Ubuntu and the bug is on google-chrome with above version.

This is still a problem in Google Chrome Version 38.0.2125.122 (64-bit)

  • Kasiya, does this bug affects you? Did you check it? – c0rp Nov 15 '14 at 08:27
  • I don't have google-chrome install on my system. I use chromium and firefox sometimes but I can test it if you give a google-chrome downlaod link ;) – αғsнιη Nov 15 '14 at 08:28
  • https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/. Execute this sudo touch /etc/default/google-chrome before install *.deb file. This will prevent adding Google's repository to package manager. – c0rp Nov 15 '14 at 08:41
  • Ok I'm downloading now I will reply the result – αғsнιη Nov 15 '14 at 08:50
  • @c0rp I test that but it does not effect me chrome Version 38.0.2125.122 (64-bit). but I installed via sudo gdebi /path/to/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb and I didn't execute sudo touch /etc/default/google-chrome. try to remove and install again with gdebi installer, it's very useful .deb package installer. see more about that under my answer here. and also my kernel version is Linux 3.13.0-37-generic – αғsнιη Nov 15 '14 at 09:58
