Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I run gnome3 on jessie and have two screens. Left is my 'primary workspace',
so there's n virtual workspaces, right is the secondary, that makes it one
permanent workspace. I need to put stuff into a libreoffice document.


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

The stuff I need to put into the libreoffice document comes from multiple
sources which are on multiple virtual workspaces on the left screen.

Therefore I place the libreoffice-window on the right (static) screen and
pull the information from the workspaces on the left, cycling through these
as needed.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Whenever I move the mouse around in the libreoffice-window on the right and
come across anything in the window that causes libreoffice to display a
small popup (as in "select table column" or "adjust table size") the popup
causes gnome3 to change the workspace on the left to the workspace that was
on the left when I moved libreoffice to the workspace on the right.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the workspaces on the right to stay as I left them because I'd
really like to be able to read the information on the left and summarize
them into the document on the right.

Hello,

Do you still get this behavior with the LO version provided by bullseye
or bookworm?
