Bug Description

Ubuntu Natty alpha 3, all updates installed

0. Have at least one unmaximized window open.
1. Click "Workspace Switcher" in the launcher.
2. Drag an unmaximized window so that its top is just off the top of a workspace.
3. Enter the workspace on which you moved the window.
4. Try to move the window.

What happens: You can't move the window, because its title bar isn't visible.

What should happen: Moving windows in the Workspace Switcher should be subject to the same safeguard as when you move them by dragging their title bar, i.e. you can't drag their title bar off the screen.

The Unity's panel is on top of title bar in this case. The only way to move the window is using the workspace switcher again (or holding Alt while dragging the window).

I think this is not a bug, you can go again super key+s and easily move window as needed, also alt+left click on window is working fine.

I'm closing this due https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BigDesktopBugScrub if you think this is still a bug, open this again.
