Just ran into this after a reboot that hung so I reset my machine.

Started Sublime Text 3 in Unity, no window. Can alt-tab to an icon, but
nothing is there. Super+w shows nothing. Log out and back in, same
problem.

In Cinnamon I started Sublime and it appeared in the top left of my left
hand monitor. Dragging the window was buggy the first time, but on the
second attempt it moved to the middle monitor fine. Logged out and back
into Unity and Sublimed loaded fine with a visible window.

This seems like a window manager not detecting corrupt placement cache
problem, not a compiz issue, since both desktops render using Compiz,
right? Perhaps Unity needs some sanity checking for if a window is
supposed to be visible on one of its desktops, make sure that it is.

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.
