Yep, I remember seeing this effect myself in oneiric, but I am not able to reproduce it now. Running wmctrl -lG in one window while maximizing/unmaximizing another window on the other screen seems to work fine. I also tested with a second window and various positions of the sample windows, and unmaximizing always restored to the previous location.
So given sam's comment I think this can be marked fixed. If someone still sees the original behavior please provide a more detailed test case of how to reproduce it. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869907 Title: Window Management - Unmaximizing a window doesn't return to the initial size/position.
