+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
+ Often when I try to maximise a window that is on the primary display it will move to the secondary display instead.  Here is what I did just now:
  
  I have a Chromium window that I want to move from the secondary display
  to the primary display, so I drag the window over to my primary display,
  and drag the title bar to the top of the screen.
  
  Result:  The window maximises, but on the secondary display instead.
  
  Same scenario, but instead of dragging the window to the top I use the
  window controls to maximise the window.
  
  Result: The window maximises, but on the secondary display instead.
  
  Same scenario, but I try to maximise on half the primary display by
  dragging to the left (or right).  I'm doing this just to test really.
  
  Result:  It works as expected and the window changes dimensions to fit
  in the left (or right) half of the primary display.
  
  Workaround:
  If, after dragging the window to my primary display, I resize the window to make sure that it fits fully w/in the dimensions of the primary display it will maximise on the primary display as expected.  Therefore, I suspect the problem is that some part of the window is hanging off-screen and Compiz assumes I want to move the window to the other display.  This is a poor assumption, and quite honestly very frustrating.  My secondary display is quite a bit larger than the primary and this means this scenario happens frequently.
