Title:
  maximized windows move workspaces when screen size changes

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I use my laptop in two setups: by itself with its 1440x900 built-in
  panel, and docked/closed using an external 2560x1440 monitor only.
  (So only one active screen in both cases)  I use multiple unity
  workspaces, with (for example) a maximized browser window in the top
  right workspace and a emacs maximized in the lower left workspace.

  I find that if I suspend while docked and then resume after undocking
  (so I am switching from 2560x1440 -> 1440x900 screen), everything
  mostly works except that my maximized windows unpredictably change
  workspaces; I might end up with the browser and emacs stacked on top
  of each other after this transition.

  It seems that a sensible heuristic would be that if I maximized a
  window in a particular workspace, then the window should stay
  maximized in the same workspace after a screen size transition.
