[Bug 1295267] Re: Windows change Monitor/Desktop after screen lock

 

Yes, I'm experiencing the same thing. 
After a lock screen, my windows all move back onto one monitor.

The main monitor has had the resolution dropped from 3840x2160 -->
2560x1440

Title:
  Windows change Monitor/Desktop after screen lock

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 7.1 series:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I run a dual monitor configuration, with one portrait and one
  landscape.

  I nearly always have multiple applications open in multiple windows
  across both monitors and all virtual desktops.

  When I lock the screen and then unlock, my application windows will
  move from their original position.

  Sometimes they are in completely random positions;

  Other times they seem to get the monitors confused, and rather than
  being in the top half of the portrait monitor they are on the top half
  of the landscape monitor;

  Sometimes it is only a new desktop, but the monitor position is the
  same;

  Sometimes it is the same desktop, but on the other monitor.

  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10

  What I expect to happen: When I unlock my computer, all the windows
  are in the same position on the same monitor and desktop as I left
  them.

  What actually happens: When I unlock my computer, some or all of the
  windows have been changed to a random position on a random monitor
  and/or desktop.
