Random crashes with multiple workspaces

Linux has long enjoyed a UI element recently added in various ways to
both macOS and Windows: multiple workspaces, where sets of windows can
be switched between.
I've found an unfortunate things with LC on Ubuntu 14.04:
I tend to open LC on a workspace other than the default, switching to it
throughout the day as I go, and switching back to other workspaces for
email, etc.
Once in a while, I find that when I switch back to the workspace where I
have LC, the LC app will crash. When this happens it doesn't invoke the
OS dialog I see when other apps crash; it's just a silent and quick exit
in which the windows all close at once and the process dies.
The problem is that this is uncommon. I can go days at a time without
this happening. And I've found no common recipe when it does happen
other than having been working in the LC workspace for a while, and then
spending some time in another workspace before switching back; it's the
switching back that seems to trigger it.
Has anyone else seen this, whether on Linux or any other
workspace-enabled OS?
I'm interested in comparing notes to see if we might pin down a recipe
worthy of submitting in a bug report.
TIA -
