[Richard Merren <1295267@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having this issue when my laptop is connected to an external
monitor and I am using both screens side-by-side. It just started
happening after upgrade to 16.04. Was driving me nuts, but I just
discovered (following a reading of comment #41) that if I go to System
Settings -> Brightness and Lock and set "Turn screen off when inactive
for" to "Never" (I had it set to 5 minutes), then the problem does not
seem to occur--when I return to my computer, all of the application
windows are where I left them.

I would like to hear if this workaround resolves the issue for anyone
else as well.

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.
