Title:
windows move between workspaces switching dual display off
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I switch to/from dual display on a tablet pc a few times a day. I
switch to dual display mode with a script doing
xrandr --screen 0 --fb 1600x2100
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200 --above LVDS1
and back to the single (laptop) screen with
xrandr --output VGA1 --off
xrandr --screen 0 --fb 1600x900
(I also set some wacom parameters back and forth to keep the tablet
input calibrated on the laptop screen when in dual mode, but I don't
think that's relevant.)
The problem is that when I switch between the setups my application
windows are moved between workspaces. It seems that the distinction
between the physical screens and the workspaces is blurred, which may
be intentional (I can drag windows between workspaces). But each time
I switch display setup have to find all my application windows and
move them to where I want them, which is a bit irritating as I have
quite a few. I'm sorry if I've missed some option which will allow me
to tie an application window to a specific workspace.
I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 with unity version 6.12.0-0ubuntu0.2. I expected
each application window to stay in the workspace I put it, but it
usually doesn't.
