Looks like it should work for Unity. But it might break other /normal/ desktop environments which don't stay visible during expo. Especially with a 2-monitor setup where the expo viewports are rendered right up to the edge of the screen.

I'm not sure if I'm being too pedantic here...

What I understand it that the workArea will be the same size as the rendered viewport and because of that this bug will not happen. Is that correct?
Could you describe the steps to test this specific case?

Thanks

What I meant was... try a different desktop environment like Gnome Classic and put a panel down the side of the monitor. Now set up two monitors so that panel is in the middle of them. If you expo now, clicks near the edge of the screen will be ignored despite the fact that you are clicking on the expo windows. But maybe that's too much of an edge case to worry about right now.

Another issue is: What happens if I click inside the workarea, drag a window, but release outside the workarea? Does the window keep dragging? (obviously I haven't tested it yet)

I did the test here and works fine for me.

Tested. Works for me and the bug is fixed.

It seems my concern about dragging outside the workarea was unfounded. And the issue with expo appearing below the launcher we can ignore for now. Because technically that's a bug and we don't need it to work.

Although, it could still cause strange behaviour with other desktop environments that don't stay on top of expo. But even then, people are unlikely to notice the problem.

Hi Sam, do you have any idea or example how I can test it?

Hmm, actually, you'd just be mocking out the compiz API directly. That's testing what it does, not that it works. I'll +1 it for now.
