Bug Description

As suggested in Bug #755842, post 54, I'm reporting a new bug. Here is how it can be reproduced every timer for me:
If workspaces are arranged like
12
34
1. Open GCStar program on workspace 4, non-maximized, touching right edge.
2. Open Firefox on workspace 1
3. When on workspace 1, click ok GCStar in launcher

The result is that GCStar window is moved so that part of it goes on workspace 3 and clicking on its icon on Launcher does not switch either to workspace 3 nor 4, it stays on 1.

This happens with other programs too, but with this one every time.
