    Launching firefox in any workspace other than workspace 1, triggers overview

    I use gnome shell & I have always noticed that if I launch firefox in workspace 2 or any workspace other than workspace 1, overview is triggered.

    I just updated my laptop this evening and now I notice that this behaviour continues but now sometimes when overview is triggred by launching firefox, firefox is off centre to the right in overview and the x to close the appication that appears on applications in overview is in the centre of the screen.

    See link to screencast:

    I want to file a bug but am not sure where to file - Red Hat bugzilla? and what should the component be?

    I'd start out with the gnome-shell component in either RH bugzilla or bugzilla.gnome.org , either one should get to the right people.

    I have the same thing occurring since f17. When firefox is launched the application starts
    but it seems that the super key(windows key) is somehow kicked in.

    I have been ignoring it, except for mentioning it while on f17 in these forums.
