As a work around for some people you can install compizconfig-settings-
manager and go into the General Options then hit up display settings and
disable smart-mode.  Although I assume this fix only works for people
with different monitors with different resolutions (such as the people
like me who had 1366 and then a 1080p tv connected to the HDMI.)  I set
mine to put everything new into the smaller window (my laptop screen)
and it started placing all the dialogs and new windows into the right
place.
