Xfce drop-down terminal stays on previous workspace

[Miro Hrončok]

Hey,

I think that my xfce4-terminal dropdown started to act weirdly.

  1. drop down (by a keyboard shortcut)
  2. move to a different workspace (by a keyboard shortcut)

Before: the drop down terminal "stays with you"

Now: the drop down terminal stays on previous workspace, invoking the drop down 
keyboard shortcut does nothing, you need to go back to the previous worksapce, 
roll up, move to a new workspace, drop down.

Has anybody noticed similar behavior change? Is it a regression or is this 
somewhat configurable?

I do not see this. I tried two appraoches

(1) Leave the drop-down terminal open and switch workspace (either by
rolling mouse wheel or keyboard shortcut).

The drop-down follows me.

(2) I exited the drop-down terminal and re-opened in a new workspace.
Followed me to the new workspace.

Since I have a multi-monitor setup, I did an additional check. I
activated "Move to monitor with pointer". Drop-down terminal does follow
the mouse pointer to different monitor(s).

As far as I can tell, there does not seem to be an option to enforce
what you are observing ...

Any inkling on what could have caused this? Can you reproduce this on a
different system perhaps?

It's gone. Apparently the terminal have seen my message and started to behave :D

Thanks anyway, I'll report back if this ever comes back.
