[Bug 874146] Re: Multimonitor: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored

 

Ubuntu 14.10 here and I am having this issue.

My laptop screen (which I want to use as primary) is on the right and my
external monitor (secondary) on the left.

Some windows (such as Viber and the Skype Login screen and Options) open
on the secondary screen for no reason.

Title:
  Multimonitor: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin
  settings silently ignored

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a dual monitor setup (each side by side), one desktop and a
  virtual size of 2x5. There are several strange things happening:

  When I'm in the top left virtual desktop, focus in the left monitor,
  and open up evolution it is either displayed in the same virtual
  desktop but on the other monitor and gets focus or it is displayed on
  one desktop further to the right, there in the right monitor, and it
  does not have focus.

  This leads to the situation where I am on a specific desktop, launch
  an application and this application shows up on another desktop
  without focus and without me knowing where it is. In addition,
  klicking on the evolution icon in the launcher does _not_ jump to the
  open window but does nothing at all. After changing the desktop via
  <Ctrl><Alt>Arrow or invoking <Super_L>S clicking on the icon works as
  expected.

  At least for me, this is a severe restriction to my workflow. I'll be
  happy to privde any information neede, please feel free to ask!
