I have never heard of this. Schengen visas are normally valid for all Schengen countries. work permits are another thing, they are normally restricted to one country. But you can then travel on holiday to any other Schengen country.
Because the whole point of Schengen is that it has abolished border controls between these countries. Schengen and EU citizens have the right to travel to other Schengen and EU countries without any restriction. Most of these countries are also members of the EU, which has abolished customs between its members. As a result there are no border controls, just a sign by the side of the road when you cross from one country to another. Therefore once you have a Schengen visa and have entered the Schengen Area, these is nothing to stop you travelling to any other Schengen country. You can go from the Helsinki (Finland) to Lisbon (Portugal) and you wil not encounter a single border post.

Traveling in Europe has been simplified with the introduction of the Schengen visa. As a visitor to the Schengen area, you will enjoy the many advantages of this unified visa system. With a Schengen visa, you may enter one country and travel freely throughout the Schengen zone. Internal border controls have disappeared; there are no or few stops and checks. This means that internal air, road and train travel are handled as domestic trips, similar to travel from one US state to another. Those who traveled in Europe before Schengen know the difference. The 15 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
