Public bug reported:

If you use the Compiz 'grid' plugin to position a window, then change
the viewport of that window with the Compiz 'put' plugin, the window
moves briefly to the new viewport but then immediately bounces back to
the old viewport.

A workaround is to restore the window before putting it to the next
viewport.

The Compiz grid plugin has functionality to avoid this behavior when a
windows's viewport is changed with the Compiz 'expo' plugin, but not the
'put' plugin.

The attached patch to 'put' for compiz-0.9.13.1+18.04.20180302 retrieved
via 'apt source compiz-plugins-default' on Ubuntu 18.04 fixes this
behavior.

** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "Fix for put.cpp that tells grid it is moving window to another viewport"
