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
  • @KasiyA there is no such problem in `firefox` or `chromium`. Thanks for this tip – c0rp Nov 14 '14 at 07:11

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](http://askubuntu.com/questions/488053/how-to-install-skype-4-3/488062#488062). and also my kernel version is `Linux 3.13.0-37-generic` – αғsнιη Nov 15 '14 at 09:58
