[Bug 994128] [NEW] Windows get misplaced after turning on/off secondary monitor

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a configuration with two video outputs, one is a 1900x1200
monitor, and another one in 1024x768 projector (capable of using up to
1400x1050 resolution). Since I cannot scale 1900x1200 to projector, I'm
turning it on/off from Displays settings panel. When the projector
output is turned on, some windows are automatically placed on it (in the
same workspace). When I turn off projector's output, some windows are
placed on another workspace. All this can be seen in 4 screenshot I
provided. First one is windows positions before turning on the
projector, second shows windows after turning on the projector, third
shows windows placed where they supposed to be (I moved them there
before turning the projector off), and fourth shows windows placement
after turning off the projector.
