[Bug 1094176] [NEW] Multi-monitor - Maximized windows move to the larger monitor after opening/closing the lid

 

Public bug reported:

I've found quite a few issues with multi-monitor setups and maximized
windows, but none seem quite like this one.

What i see is that windows that were maximized on the smaller screen
always move to the larger one after i close and then open the laptop lid
and unlock the session. Windows that were not maximized at the time are
not affected.

This 40 second video demonstrates the behavior:

In it, i have two screens one on top of another, the external monitor is
the larger one and is on top of the smaller one, which is a built-in
screen. i have two windows on the smaller screen, a gnome-terminal and a
help window. i maximize the help window, close and open the lid, unlock
the session and return to find the help window maximized but on the
larger screen above. gnome-terminal stays where it was but for some
reason its menu strip is now obscured by the toolbar (but it only
happens to that particular window, if i open another terminal it is not
affected).

Simply locking the screen does not produce the effect, only closing the
lid does.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, fully updated.
