[Bug 1305159] Re: Application Windows Launching to Opposite Monitor

 

I'm still experiencing this in Ubuntu 14.04.

** Description changed:

  Although this was fix in earlier releases of Ubuntu, I'm now again
  experiencing the bug where you'll launch an application (from the
  launcher) on a particular Monitor (in a dual monitor setup) and then the
- application get launched into the opposite monitor.
+ application gets launched into the opposite monitor (unintentionally).
  
  For example, I just logged into my laptop and tried to launch Firefox
  from the external monitor (which is left of my laptop's built-in
  monitor) and Firefox launch into the opposite monitor than the one from
  which I initiated the launch.
  
  I like applications to launch into the monitor my mouse-cursor was in at
  the time I launched the application.
  
  As I said, this was fixed in previous editions of Ubuntu, but has now
  again returned in this late beta of 14.04.
