[Eleni Maria Stea <375951@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. The compiz program
that we currently use in Ubuntu is a C++ re-write of the original compiz
and was announced the 4th July 2010. Therefore, the bugs that were
reported before that date, will be marked as "Won't Fix" as they
probably exist in the original program which is not stored in launchpad.
(The last LTS that used the old compiz is the 10.04 which is not
supported anymore).

** Changed in: compiz
       Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix

Title:
  Resizing display moves windows off-screen

Status in Compiz:
  Won't Fix
Status in Compiz Core:
  Expired
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz

  1. Minimize a window.
  2. Detach laptop from docking station and thus from external monitor. X display gets resized and things moved around.
  3. Suspend. and resume. (This may be irrelevant.)
  4. Re-attach laptop to docking station and external monitor. X display gets resized again.
  5. Un-minimize window.
  6. Compiz places un-minimized window outside the screen, with perhaps only a corner visible.

  I would have expected compiz to place the uniminized window in the
  location it had before being minimized, or at least in such a location
  that it's mostly visible. I suspect that if my external monitor were
  much larger than the laptop's internal one (they're mirrored), compiz
  would pick locations that didn't show any part of the window on the
  screen.
