[Bug 971147] Re: xdotool and wmctrl don't move and resize windows after they are (semi)maximized
i have the same experience as dave and KSSG, although on 14.04. My
suspicion is it happens only with nvidia driver, not the intel one. but
are not 100% sure ..

Title:
xdotool and wmctrl don't move and resize windows after they are
(semi)maximized
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
The command
/usr/bin/xdotool windowmove `/usr/bin/xdotool getwindowfocus` 0 0
is supposed to move currenly selected window to the top left corner.
It works fine on clean start, but after I maximize (or half-maximize)
and then restore some window, it becomes "broken", and this command
silently do nothing with it. The same holds for appropriate wmctrl
command like
wmctrl -i -r `/usr/bin/xdotool getwindowfocus` -e 10,0,0,-1,-1
This affects Unity desktop, but does NOT affect Gnome shell desktop,
so I believe it's a bug somewhere in Unity.
The same issue is discussed in the following thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414155&page=2
It seems to affect both 11.10 and 12.04 (but I checked only 12.04).
