[Bug 763148] Re: Adding/Removing an external monitor causes open windows to move to another workspace
Jan,
can You please clarify which versions fixed the problem? Output from dpkg seems to be abrupt in Your comment.
Also what I've checked is that windowses do not move randomly when I
connect external display, they are going wild after I disconnect the
monitor.
Chris, patches for precise - did You picked them from Trusty based fixes or there are specific new fixes as well?
Shouldn't these be forward-ported to next release which is also having problems?

Bug description:
[Impact]
Many users will put different windows in different workspaces for better work flow. If a user connects and/or disconnects an external monitor or projector, all of these windows will be put in the first workspace. Having to go back and move all of the windows back to their workspaces is very frustrating and time consuming.
[Test Case]
#. Open some applications in different workspaces.
#. Plug in an external monitor.
[Regression Potential]
Very low possibility that a window still ends up in the wrong workspace.
--------------------------------------------
Original description:
well, i plug in my external screen.
expected behaviour would be, if all of my windows would stay in the
workspaces i aligned them to, and if they'd be on the same screen i
had them in the first place.
unfortunatly in unity, if i plug-in (or plug-off) my external screen
the windows are all around, but not where i'd expect them to be
(namely in the same place they were before). so i always have to
toggle expo-mode and re-align all of my windows.
