this happens to me in a slightly different context. My laptop is usually connected to an external monitor. Whenever the laptop suspends, when I resume the gnome-terminal window is lost. Seems to always be the terminal but at the same time, this almost always my only window that's not maximized. Recently, I found that if I Alt-tab to the terminal, I can press Alt-Space which pops up the window menu, and then if I maximize it, it comes back to view. Running Ubuntu 14.04

Bug description:
  I have a Chrome window that I was moving around via ALT+drag and the
  window "snapped" offscreen in the direction where there is no virtual
  workspace. I cannot get the window back into a workspace.

  Things I can do: I can see it in the spread or by double clicking on
  the app icon in the launcher, but when I click on the window to select
  it, it just brings me to the workspace it thinks it is in,but it is
  still offscreen.

  At this point, I can't get the window back on screen.
