Hey Saviq,

First, when you say "multi-monitor", I assume you have a laptop with an
external monitor attached, right?

If so, are these maximized windows that are moved the ones that were on
the external monitor?  Also, when the machine suspends, the external
monitor goes standby or powers off and then powers back on when
resuming, right?  I'm betting that the external monitors takes a bit of
time to power on, so Compiz only sees one monitor for a bit and moves
the window to the existing monitor.  However, Compiz does not keep track
of the lost monitor at this point and then when the monitor fully powers
on and then presents itself, you left with the maximized window in the
"wrong" screen.

Let me know if my hunch seems reasonable for your case.

Title:
  With multi-monitor setup and workspaces, maximized windows wander
  around

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It often happens when resuming, sometimes when focusing a maximized
  window (especially one that's urgent), it will change the screen it's
  maximized on.

  I'll try and add exact steps to reproduce when I find them, but maybe
  someone already knows.
