[Bug 1257327] Re: 10de:06fd [Dell Precision T5500] Ubuntu 13.10 dual monitor screen lock causes windows to disappear off-screen
Hmm, I'm thinking turning off the monitor is the root issue here.
Compiz does not always handle monitor hotplugging very well which is
what happens when powering off the monitor.
A few more questions to help me narrow this down.
1. Are you using more than one workspace? If so, what is your workspace geometry like, ie, 2x2 workspaces? If you don't have workspaces enabled, could you try enabling workspaces when this issue occurs and see if it shows up in one of the workspaces.
2. Are any of the windows on your second monitor maximized?
3. You say "monitors", implying you turn off more than one monitor. Is this something like a dual monitor desktop system?
As far as the monitors not powering off when they are supposed to, I
think that is either an issue in power management or the kernel and not
in Unity/Compiz.
Lastly, I've been doing some work with windows getting shuffled around
when removing/adding a monitor, so if you feel a bit adventurous, you
could try a test Compiz package I have that could (hopefully) fix this
issue. Try adding https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive/compiz-test
and see if it helps and report back to me.
Thanks!

Title:
10de:06fd [Dell Precision T5500] Ubuntu 13.10 dual monitor screen lock
causes windows to disappear off-screen
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a dual monitor set up with a Dell T5500 and an Nvidia Quadro
NVS 295 graphics card. I lock the screen with a window open on the
second monitor, then unlock it again. When the desktop shows again,
the windows that were on the second screen are gone offscreen. I
expected them to still be on the second screen - I can workaround this
by using Alt+Spacebar to move the window back. This happens every
time I lock the screen, and it happens if I use the Nouveau driver or
if I use the proprietary driver. I expected the windows on the second
screen to stay on the screen after unlocking the system. Instead, the
windows disappeared off-screen - the Unity launcher still shows them
being open, plus if I have multiple windows of an application open
(i.e. the terminal), then double click the launcher icon, then it
shows me all the windows and lets me choose one to bring forward, even
the ones offscreen. When I pick the offscreen one to bring forward,
its icon just shoots offscreen again.
