Workspace moving behaviour across multiple screens

Hello, thanks for this beautiful window manager. But today I bought a second monitor and experienced a strange behaviour when moving windows to a workspace on the other monitor.
I enabled "workspace auto back and forth" and changed the bindsyms to something like "bindsym ..... move workspace x; workspace x". Now when I move my window to another monitor, the focus stays on the current one because "move workspace x" changes focus automatically for different monitors.
Is there a possibility to let "move workspace x" behave with different monitors like with a single one?
The version of i3 I'm using currently: i3 version 4.2 (2012-04-25, branch "release-4.2") © 2009-2012 Michael Stapelberg and contributors
I would appreciate if someone could help me.
Have a nice day!
Can you please share your entire config at a nopaste service like http://pastebin.com/ and give an example with real workspace names and output names?
Thank you for your response. As you requested I copied my entire config to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/TWFXD84T Workspace 1 is the left monitor, Workspace 2 the right one. If I press Super+Shift+2 to move a window to workspace 2 and directly change focus, only the window will be moved.
I also experienced that my other bindsyms (Super+CTRL+2), which are actually for moving without following with the focus, works for workspaces on different monitors like Super+Shift+2 on the same one. Actually I think it's kind of a feature that I didn't understand.
