Bug#766428: marco: "Sticky" windows return to original desktop on Alt-Tab

[Matthew Horan]

Package: marco
Version: 1.8.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When selecting "Always on Visible Workspace" from the Window Menu, macro
correctly places the window on all workspace. However, when focusing an
unfocused window with this option enabled via Alt-Tab, the window will
be raised on its original workspace.

An upstream bug report exists for this issue:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/issues/18. A fix has also been
provided: https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/pull/121. However, the
fix has not been merged.
